Why are the older diesels slow and gutless? Can anything be done about it?

Can you share more about your propane fumigation system..
I may want to do something to 'perk up' my feeble 240D..
I'm also considering adding a pyrometer, so it doesn't go thermonuclear..

RE: Gutless Performance... -> TURBOCHARGE!
So---
I guess your saying my aspirations are normal-- but doomed to be dismal.. :P
Okay-- are there any good threads about turbocharging the 240D motor.. BTW-- what "model" engine is that.. I hear different engines reffered to by manufacturer numbers, but I'm still too much a 'nO0b' to know what's what..
I know my 81 240D is a 123 body..
and the 85 300SD is a 126, with I think a 617 engine???

RE: Gutless Performance... -> TURBOCHARGE!
It seems many pull both plastic tubes off of the switchover valve and connect them together, thereby by-passing the switchover. The plastic tube then essentially runs directly from the banjo nut to the ALDA. Man, you'll see a world of difference!
Is anyone truly aware how much this stresses the engine, or if it wears out other components faster? I as least know I can set it back with a screwdriver in the dark in 3 minutes if needed.

You are correct, but Im sure you hear that alot.
Its much more like 10-12 secs. But in my excitement I guesstamated low. But it amazes me how much turbo boost i get now, but after talking to the shop I may set it back the way the factory has it. Dont wanna hurt this pretty car with crazy amounts of boost.
