OM636 Questions

So, with help from people on this and other forums, I've determined that my engine is an OM636.

It came from a ThermoKing Reefer unit, not sure of the year or anything. There is an ID plate on the starter motor, but I'd have to look at it again to get any numbers off it.

There are cast stamps on the head and block area, and I've yet to see anything on the pump side.

My questions are:

How do I get more information on this motor, including service procedures, etc.?

Does anyone have a contact number or address at ThermoKing that I could get ahold of them and get some information on the motor?

How do I identify the injection pump on this engine, to make sure that I've got a pump that can handle vehicle duty and what power level it's capable of? (They came in 25-42HP versions, apparently.)

Is there a serial number on the pump that I can identify it by? Who do I call to confirm?

I have Bosch type injectors, with steel return lines, not the braided rubber things. Does that make a difference in determining HP rating?

And lastly:

HOW TO SAFELY MAKE MORE POWER!? I have a couple turbos laying around, how do I determine if a turbo is the right size for this engine, and how well will the 636 hold up to a turbo anyway?
