OM603 N/A Performance
I've got an 89' 300D with the OM603 N/A engine. I have looked into turbocharging it but it seems like it may be more trouble than its worth, because I may be lacking the engine internals to support the turbo. I am looking to get some more power out of this thing. I understand its never going to be a 'fast' car by any means. That in mind, what options am I looking at to get some more power, and what have people modified on these engines?

Add propane as a secondary fuel for acceleration only.

With any engine, more power is about processing more air and fuel. Without a turbo, all you can do is improve the intake and exhaust flow by doing things like redesigning the intake and exhaust manifolds and porting the head.
By the time you've done all that, you might as well install a turbo.
