turbo 8v

Yes, you are wasting your time.  Turbo is not suitable for your engine,
though the exhaust manifold CAN be made to work...you will have to machine
your intake manifold for clearance though.

The intake manifold on a diesel/turbo diesel is COMPLETELY different,
diesels don't use a throttle body...totally useless for ya.

NOTE:  If you DO find a turbodiesel in the junkyard, I am looking for
those parts for my non-turbo diesel rabbit truck, I would gladly buy the
stuff from you if you find it.  I would need intake, exhaust, plumbing,
turbo, injection pump, and injectors/lines. :-)

Now, for COMPLETE 8v turbo solutions, you DO have an option:

*note, DONT use www or it wont work)
