All two-stroke Detroits have a blower. It's necessary to the operation of
the engine, does the job that crankcase pressure does in a little
two-stroke. On the inline motors it mounts on the side of the block.

If a "blower" is defined by you as a turbo (i.e. .., device to increase air
flow into the cylinders), then you are in error. I know several people with
2 stroke DD 6-71's. Some are naturally aspirated, some have turbos
(blowers).

Find a cutaway picture of a Detroit Diesel, you'll see what the blower
does and you can figure out how. Don't pay no 'tention to turbos, a
turbo isn't a blower. A naturally aspirated Detroit two-stroke has a
blower.
