Welcome to the forum. I am near Downham Market. Cant help with your turbo request but my non turbo hightop used to annoy me at first but now I dont care, in fact I never drive it flat out now. It annoys others following, first gear at 3mph gets em really mad.

Pretty sure the heads are different on turbo models, extra oil jets or something, to keep things a bit cooler. So you would need a full engine change really, to get any longevity out of your engine.
I have an 1985 TD, and it is a bit quicker than the normally aspirated LT I had years ago. It still struggles up hills tho! |

The turbo engines have oil spray nozzles under the pistons to cool them down.
I know they have installed turbos on NA 1,6 diesel T3 in the USA and it have worked fine for years. If i remember correctly. The turbo engines have the turbo where the NA engines have the engine mount Personally i would prefer the 2,5 TDI engine from an Audi 100 or A6 it fits on the gearbox and the oil pan is identical in both ends, it just needs some cut and weld. There is a guy in Austria running a 2,5 TDI chipped to about 180hp in his coachbuildt. He keeps up with traffic... |

2.5 TDI would be a rockstar! But if on a budget you could add a turbo and it would probably work fine as long as you don't abuse it.
