Turbo upgrade
#1
hi there.
I'm thinking of upgrading the engine in my 2001 1.9D - non turbo, over to a turbo model.
Because the engine never really had a hard time its emissions are really good @ 0.204ppm - only 90K on the clock and I believe it would be a good base.

I was told I can simply bolt on the exhaust manifold & turbo, Pump and inter cooler and the various air pipes, that is all that would be required..... Is there anything I'm missing here.

Also as an alternative - will turning up the pump give me some more grunt? I find the standard diesel Estate is a bit pedestrian once you hit a few motorway hills. My old turbo was a lot faster, It was a 1998 turbo D.

The engines don't look too different to me but perhaps someone knows more out there.... Is this possible?
Thanks all.

It would be better to just completely swap in the turbo engine, there are quite a few things that are different with the turbo engines and not worth the faff of swapping the bits onto an N/A

EDIT: Wrong section lol

Thanks for that.
I may plan a winter project - car will be a sleeper.

My old engine preferred to have it's oil on the outside (had 214 K miles on it when I eventually sold her)- was forever topping it up and keeping an eye on it.
But it was great for when people drove up behind you - drop a gear and floor it and the smoke was unbelievable - car was lovingly known as the DB5....
