Mercedes used them, too (I had a '72 220D/8 which had one).
Kenworth used them (We have a '00 W900 which has one).
I'm told that only Dodge offers a manual transmission at this time.

The turbo charger packs more oxygen into the fuel/air charge which burns
more of the fuel injected into the engine, thus more energy is "released"
for the same amount of fuel [instead of some of the same volume of fuel

Burning more fuel because of more power only happens if you're actually using
the additional power. The turbo actually adds something like 30% more
efficiency to a diesel engine.
For example, a 617 turbo will get better fuel economy than a 617 NA while being
MUCH more pleasant to drive...

Any competent Bosch injection pump shop can rebuild an MW pump. You can buy
larger elements for it from dieselmeken, but not much point without an

The turbo allows more fuel to be burned per injector per rpm/2. So a turbo
motor is going to burn more fuel because it is capable of making more power.
The 210 is probably bigger, heavier, and less aerodynamic than the w124.
Anyone have numbers?
The w124 is definitely more attractive.
