OOOOOH,I don't even want to think about putting a bunch of turbo boost pressure in one of those old 2 cyl trip hammers. It reminds me of my uncles old 80 diesel. It broke a rod at about mid point on the rod. The rod half still attached to the crankshaft came up right under the little pony engine,punched its guts and lifted it right of the top of the crankcase. Once the broken rod finished with the pony engine,it turned around and punched through the rear of the crankcase and jammed itself into the transmission which locked up all the trans gears.
The poor old locked up thing had to be skidded onto the salvage yard ramp truck,then skidded off into the yards disassembly shed. I had never seen such instant total distruction before,but the guy at the salvage yard said broken rods were fairly common in the old 2 cyl diesels.
