om601 2.3 turbodiesel power limit
Spending a bunch modifying an om601 doesn't really make sense if you can just put in an om603 instead. A tuned up om601 might be able to make as much peak power, but it will only be up at max rpm and with the 603 using stock elements. The rest of the rpm range the 603 will make more power and be more driveable, less prone to smoking.
The benefits of the om601 are smaller and lighter, which worked well in the van chassis. In a w124 you can easily fit an om603, that is the easy solution if you're worried about power. I don't think there is really much difference in availability/cost. If you already have the om601, then you could get it working and see if ~100-150hp is sufficient. If you end up wanting more power, then swapping in a om603 would still be the better option.
