Thats funny, I know how you feel. I Have a Garret T-3 turbo I am going to be installing in the next couple of months on my 240. I am going to dyno it before and after at my friends shop to see the horse power difference. I know, I have way to much time on my hands.

you put a turbo on your 240d? thats 616 4cylinder engine right? i would not recomend that.. it doesnt have piston coolers... and a number of things arent correct.
