forget it leave as is believe me.
I agree. Opinions I have found as varied as you can get, from the one oke building a twin turbo ("any turbo you can get" isuzu e.g) OM617 (standard engine) saying you have to turbo it!
To others who have melted pistons as a result of doing so.
General consensus among non experts seems to be that you can ignore the fact that crank is harder, oil channels, conrods and oil spray under pistons to cool them (OM617A) is designed for a reason and go up to 0.5bar boost safely.
I would personally not risk it for a few kw gain and shortening the life of the motor .

Spotted this 350 bluetec on the N1 this afternoon. It took William Nicol off ramp.
Spy friend spotted these in Middelburg. Why does the green one look so weird?
Is it because it is missing some black/green wheel arches...but is also looks like it was halved!?
Where is the green on'e fuel filler cap ? Below numberplate?

Looks like it is on the RHS..463 like...But then the whole car doesn't look
"right" to me for some reason?
Its a LHD 463, the bumper is missing, thats why.

Possible wheel spacers with original rims and/or tyres too wide for rims to give it 'stance'.
Look is accentuated by missing flares (intentional if you ask me).
