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.
