Diesel Pump UK specializes in Mercedes diesel engine (OM602, OM603, OM605, and OM606) conversions. The company just finished upgrading a Land Rover Defender with a 3.0 L OM606 turbo diesel inline-six. The company bumped the engine’s output from 174 horsepower to 300 horsepower with a hybrid version of the stock turbocharger and quickspool exhaust manifold.

There is no possible way any version of the stock turbo can support 300hp. That Micro Machine turbo is maxed out in stock form.

Hi folks, I’m re-building an old Defender 90 (1997) and would want to fit a Mercedes 0M606 diesel but my mechanic says I can’t have the diff lock.
Please advise how I can still have the diff lock working with the engine swap.
Cheers!
