The turbos are interchangable from the older engines to the newer ones.
As far as I can tell, they are identical.

617.950 is listed at 115HP and the .951/2 are 123/125HP. If
stroke/displacement are the same, what did they change that increased the

In addition to what has already been mentioned, the w116 300SDs used the earlier
AirResearch turbo units. I believe AirResearch was later purchased by Garrett,
but don't know that for fact.
