Doing a turbo upgrade on one of these vans is tricky. You have to get an engine from a Quantum Turbo Diesel for the turbo to clear the engine carrier. Good luck finding one of those. Then you would want to have it rebuilt including the turbo ($$$). A more affordable option might be to install a 1.9l NA diesel engine that can be installed in a 1.6l application. We sell this as a kit and I have installed it myself. It is a brand new engine and comes with the parts you need to install it. If you are interested just pmail me.
