617 turbo choices? myna pump - MTUPower - 02-18-2018
I'm taking the next steps and would like a better performing turbo on my 1984 300TD with a 617-95X. It's a stock turbo now. I'll be upgrading my exhaust to 3 inches and adding the older 617 high rise intake manifold. This is a daily driver and I want boost at low end but more power as well. My current 0-60mph is 9 seconds.
Please advise.

depends on your budget. i would recommend something in the 35/lb min range which should be enough for good power and spool quite quickly. that could be a HX30, HE221W, various TD05 turbos, GT2860R, or a borg warner EFR6258.

Do you know what size elements / cc the pump is? I assume 7mm since you have had it for a few years

I cannot recall what your intercooler situation is, but you will need a good one before you try to burn that much fuel, probably.

Yes, most likely route is a AW unit which is compact and underhood.
