Default Om617 jeep Comanche swap

I'm swapping the om617 into the Comanche. I would like to upgrade the turbo but I'm not real sure on what turbo or size to go with. I will be running a 3inch straight pipe and would like to turn the fuel up. Thanks for any answers.

On the Mercedes car there is a little electric water pump. It connects to the hose for the heater core do you need that for heat to work on the jeep?

Are you sure it's not the heater control valve? Take a picture

No, it's just an extra pump for the car's system, you don't need it for your swap.

So I have got the om617 in the Comanche and trying to start it. I have nothing hooked up vacuum wise do I need any vacuum line hooked up to make it run?

you only need vacuum to shut it down electrically if desired , and for power brakes and HVAC if equipped; as far as I know.
you will most likely need glow plugs if it is cold, and a very good battery and cables.
have fun
