Adding a turbo is the way to go. Just drop down a tad from here and read/post in the pre-powerstroke section for all the advice you will ever need. Great guys there with plenty who have fitted turbos.

welcome to FTE, and the diesel forums.

a turbo will wake that engine up.

another less expensive way to get a little more out of it is to open up the air intake, and get rid of the muffler.

stop by the pre-powerstroke IDI diesel forum, down the page about 7 listings. there are alot of real smart people there, and can answer just about any question you can think up.
