Evening all. Got referred to the forum after l asked a question on the FB page.

I am currently busy with a G project and unfortunately l am a complete newbie on it.

The current engine it has it is just not politically correct and if l can do some convincing to the owner, l'd like to fit a diesel turbo engine to it.

Unfortunately l am completely a noob on MB engines.

Now, can you please suggest what will be decent option?

I have heard of the OM606 turbo, but apparently they are scarce. If l can get one, l will go with that.

Given the time that will be going into the project, one might aswell fit something decent underneath the hood.

Suggestions will be most appreciated.

Thank you.
