Make a plate to fill in the exhaust side of your blown turbo, and hook your air intake to the air filter directly with some hose. A flat blockoff plate on the oil feed, and a cap of some sort on the oil drain.
Two plates to fab from 1/4" steel, and some knuckle busting to make a horribly inefficient NA 617

I forget if a 603 turbo is compatible? I have a spare one if it will work for you. If not I think I know where I can find you a 617 turbo.

I could run my Cali Garrett turbo up to your shop today, but...what's a Cali turbo worth? It is my understanding that you really need only the compressor wheel and maybe the housing.
The Garrett turbo still sits on the engine, in the car, of the blue 300D I hit the deer with in September 2012. The car is parked in my mom's driveway in Renton, I had the nose fixed but the replacement engine still sits in the donor car in my driveway in Yelm. The weather is clear and freezing. What's it worth to ya, for me to drive up to Renton, freeze my fingers pulling it, and drop it off?

I think there's a partially disassembled t3 in the trunk of my w116, I can check tomorrow. If there's enough there to make a good turbo you can have it for shipping cost
