The 190D 2.5 Turbo has 2.65's, the 87 2.5 NA has 3.07's.

Is that the transmission ratio, the differential ratio, or the final/combination ratio ?
And as I see it the 2.5 NA and turbo put out about the same tourqe untill the turbo "kicks in" at around 2000 rpm. By the time the engine is at that rpm the clutch should not be slipping..and so is fully "locked up" unless there is enough additional torque/hp when the turbo kicks in to actually cause the clutch to begin to "unlock" the clutch should be ok.
As far as the tranny is concerned...the torque should not be a major condiseration. Especially considering that MBZ tends to "overbuild" everything...
