Yes a turbo can be fitted.

Almost all duettos had the 85PS TD engine fitted - are you sure it hasn't got one already (if so it may be in limp mode)?

Just to also make sure your getting best performance,
Make sure the fuel pump is getting full throttle,cable is adjustable.
Change fuel filter if it’s not been done,
Check/adjust valve clearances....
If still not happy you can adjust the pump slightly on the torque piston,(should be a guide on the FAQ’s I think)
and consider disconnecting/or blanking the EGR.
