I might possibly be up for a _new_ car in the very near future that gets good mileage.

I've drooled over the prospect of getting an '87 190DT for a while now but they are so rare to find in good shape for a decent price that I"ve all but given up on it.

So......I thought:

What about finding a (last year model 190D) and converting it to a 2.5DT?
BTW, what WAS the last year the 190D was sold here?

Choices I see so far:

1. Buy a 2.5DT engine new/used to drop in.
2. Convert existing engine to a turbo with all the required parts to 'do it right'
3. ?
