     Hi, would any member recommend me retro-fitting a turbo unit to my m/home 1991 2.5 ducato. If so what are the pro's and con's? My local garage reckon I would get about 30% more power!

Thanks.

Turbo charging and charger cooling diesels is highly technical and it is not just a simple bolt on job.

You have loads of parts like filters and manifolds to change and the exhaust system. Then the injection system needs re calibrating to deliver the increased ammount of fuel required.

A further point is the fact that your vehicle is 18 years old and if you tried to extract 30% more power from it the drive train or suspension would fail if the engine survived. By the way you only get 30% more power by burning 30% more fuel.

Ask yourself what you are trying to achieve? Economy? More speed or acceleration?

Relax, it is a motor caravan and goes from A to B with a bit of luck.

             Edward452- many thanks for your input, more complicated than I imagined!

             Think I'll just keep trundling along
