Anyone have experience installing a turbo on a taxi? Or is it a waste of time and money, better spent on a 300SD?

What he said. More to the point, the naturally aspirated engines (616 and non-turbo 617) don't have oil jets squirting the piston bottoms to keep them cool, and IIRC the turbo engines have Iconel valves whereas the n/a engines don't.Putting a turbo on a 240d is not a good thing. in the past I looked into it and found a bunch of reasons. Suffice it to say I was told- engine rods, transmission, rear end, along with a few others that don't come to mind right now, just cannot take the added twist.
wrong........ If it's a 4 speed manual, even better .....
That is false information.Anyways the 240D engine is just a 300D engine minus a cylinder and the oil jets, other then that there pretty identical and pretty beefy inside.
That is false information. Please do not assume things you don't know about.As for the oil jets... We all know that turbo charging lowers egts so ther should not be to much of a problem.
That is false information.Case in point GM 6.5 diesels dont have oil jets.
You will have to revv the **** out of the engine to make any boost.As for the turbo it self the easy solution is to grab the turbo and manifolds and oil filter housing from a 300D engine, you just have to cut the back port off the manifolds, weld in a patch, and everything is a bolt on after that (and...
That is false information.As for the rest of the drive train its quite capable of the power. The rear axel is the same as the 300D
