Nissan Patrol 1999: Will fitting a turbocharger help towing capacity?

My 1999 4.2-litre diesel Nissan Patrol has done 305,000km has been a great car and very reliable, but it's getting a little tired and it struggles to tow my boat. Would it help to fit a turbocharger?

You said it yourself; it's tired, so I wouldn't fit a turbocharger without rebuilding the engine. You'd be asking for trouble to do it without doing the engine.
