Not reliably. non-turbo engines don't have the higher strength parts or piston cooling added to the turbo engines.

(05-08-2010, 08:38 PM)Raptelan So I bought a German import 1986 300D (non-turbo). This car has quite a bit more power than the 1976 240D 3.0L, but is it possible to add turbo to it?
You can, but you can't add anywhere near as much as you could with a turbo engine. At most you'd get to factory turbo engine specs... The turbo engines do have a lot of design improvements to accommodate the increased power.

'05 E320 CDI - 118k - Faaaaaast!!
'87 300TD - 317k - Cracked head... but an OM606 is on the way!
'79 300SD - 295k - Bad engine = project car!
