Um well god didn't intend my Non turbo to have one so thats a no no and if you look at the cluster I'm pretty sure that 4,000-4,500 is a doted red for the red line then after 4,500 its a solid red I'm sure mine cuts off at the solid red.
whoever told you its not safe to turbo a n/a, is WRONG
ive turbo'd atleast a half dozen different n/a's, and it works just beautifully..
if your not out for alot of horsepower, then a n/a is perfectly fine to add a turbo to. you can add a turbo to a COMPLETELY stock n/a, with stock fueling, and increase power quite a bit, just from the boost of the turbo. you can crank the fuel up a bit and double your power quite easily too..
anyways, there are LOTS AND LOTS of n/a long blocks running around with turbos.. no issues.
i have probably 50k miles on my n/a engine converted to TD, and it has a VNT turbo on it, so it boosts even lower than a stock turbo, and my engine has had zero issues. im still running a stock head gasket, and stock gasser stretch bolts..
god didnt intend my engine to have a turbo either, but that didnt keep me from adding one.. turbo = happiness!
again, my car has a bone stock CS vanagon engine in it. with a VNT turbo, intercooler, TD fuel pump, and 20 psi boost.. -

I just love my N/A for what it is

you would LOVE IT EVEN MORE if it had more power, with the same simplicity and reliability..
trust me, i love n/a's too, but they are dangerously under powered.. if you are old, not in a hurry, and one of the only drivers on the road, then they are great.. but there are times, living around here, that you would not get a chance to pull out on the highway, because your car wont accel fast enough..
im sorry, but i dont have that much time to waste. you may be sitting at a stop sign all day waiting for an opening long enough to get your car up to speed.. and i, with my turbo, would have taken off at the first opening long enough to nose my car out into traffic..
N/A VW Diesels... the only cars that takes more than 5 minutes to go from 0-60

Meh I enjoy the power it has and the money it costs to run

just imagine how much more you would enjoy it with the sound of a turbo spooling up and down, not to mention it makes a great muffler -

My other car is a fast car. Plus I love how it requires full throttle to move. . . . .away

I know there IDI (Mechanically Injected) right? So they stay running on there own after starting. Now If god forbid any thing happens to hmmm lets say a turbo or oil leak, Seal, blows a hose . . . . .well sir you broke down. Its just one more thing out of its way to get the job done. Yes its quicker but it has that small percentage of some thing extra going and I like to have a reliable/tough working car incase zombies come visit.

Well obviously you'd have to move south, and use a mechanical TDI so gp's wouldn't be needed. Then remove the stop solenoid from the pump and bump start it. Kill it with the clutch and brakes.

there are marine style shut off solenoids. they are supplied with power to shut off fuel.. they are open when there is no power to them.
then it only takes power to KILL the engine, none to keep it running. -

I was planning for a huge EMP as well.. knocking out all electronics.

our diesels wont care.
take the pill out of the stop solenoid.
warm up head with torch.
compression start!
kill with clutch..
