Cool man, So now that were buddies ...
These motors are so simple almost anything helps to get more out of it. make absolutely sure fuel supply from the tank is sufficient, glow plugs are good, valves are adjusted, alda is clean and obstruction free, cam is properly timed, then rebuild the injectors with some good nozzles and make sure they are balanced nice (I have yet to do this)... then you gotta dump the coin to go further, well kinda,...
I just put a bigger compressor wheel in my stock turbo (60 trim from 45) for more efficient boost that will allow me to crank it up when it want.
adding a VNT/VGT will take fabrication... as will an intercooler, A/W seems the easiest and most efficient for the W123,24's
I've read you can go insane with cool boost (38-40psi before things break)
then you have the fuel battle.... I have not even looked into that yet because my mind does not have the capacity to store everything...
