You really want to watch EGT's on that. The MD heads have enough of a problem with cracking as it is. Pushing the EGT's or (exhaust gas temperatures) even higher is asking for trouble. It can be done, and the limiting factor I don't think is going to be the bottom end of the motor, it's gonna be the head. Everything should be pretty straight forward. Also on the turbo oiling. Talk to the turbo manufacture before you just go off and try something. The oil line has to be a certain size for both drainback and input. I've seen a couple turbos have the bearings tore up from overheating.
