Subject: I want a bigger diesel turbo in it ...

Hello everyone,
I would like to put a bigger diesel into my van I have in Europe.  
It has a 1.6 turbo diesel in it now.  But it still goes very slow, barely making it to 70 mph.  
I think about 2.5 diesel turbo would be acceptable.  Only I don’t know if it can be fitted in.
Is there anyone on this list, or you would know anyone who did change to bigger diesel engine.
Gas is expensive over there.  Has to be diesel turbo.  
Anyone?
