Amen. IF you want a turbo, it is VERY easy to put in a turbo
engine. It will not melt pistons and does have more power!

oh boy, here we go. I have had quite a few non turbo engines with
turbos put on them come thru locked up from melted pistons. Engine
life is shortened quite a bit, and they do not make near as much
power as a factory turbo motor. Why fool with it when there are
plenty of turbo motors out there?

We've had this discussion before, but I do not believe that their
would be any significant problems in adding a turbo to a non-turbo
block, and the engine would last just as long.
The IP can be tuned to provide sufficient fuel, but metering will
be slightly less accurate, which might mean slightly more smoke or
slightly less power- but not a huge difference.
The piston oil squirters are a good design feature, but they aren't
necessary, and probably don't affect engine life much at all if the
engine is tuned properly to keep EGTs down- they certainly wouldn't
result in "very short" engine life.
The Volvo D24 is a less robust motor than these mercedes motors,
but the design differences between the turbo and non-turbo models
are similar- yet I've know a few people who added a turbo to the
non-turbo motors and experienced no significant problems.
