I am sure that someone will point out the error in this consideration but nothing is free. More power = more fuel = more cost plus the cost of the work.
If facilities for an engine and turbo exchange are possible, long term the extra economy when running may push the balance of viability in its favour.

More power doesn't always mean greater fuel consumption.

Adding a turbo would mean greater efficiency assuming you can resist going too far up into the higher fueled RPM's as torque is improved throughout.

That only works properly if the gearing is matched to the new torque levels. Leaving the gearing the same as the non-turbo may help hill climbing, but doesn't help MPG that much.

Hi ultima,

You may also find out other folk who have a similar model AS, on the Autosleeper topic section here in MHF.

Also pop along to http://www.autosleeper-ownersforum.com/
which is a free to join forum for all those who have any model autosleeper, be it motorhome or indeed caravans.
It is completely seperate from the Auto Sleeper company.

Either way, asking again might bring responses from folk who have experianced your particular problems in the same van. Idea

thanks all for your sugestions,had a word with chap who used to work for TB turbos,he said they used a low pressure turbo (6-7 psi)and no alteration to the engine . If I could find a suitable s/hand turbo I have a man who could do the mod .Need to know which vehicles used a suitable low pressure turbo(breakers yard) Also anyone on this site had the convertion done by TB Turbos?
