Hey, I went through the exact same thing when I had a Euro 300D badged as a turbo diesel. It was a normally-aspirated 617 engine with an aftermarket intercooled turbo. I thought it very impressive until I learned that the turbo did absolutely nothing except weigh the car down, to say NOTHING of the fact that this NA engine was not built to withstand the added heat/pressure of the turbo. You should have seen me pulling my hair out trying to find that (nonexistent) banjo bolt!
