Mercedes C200 Diesel W202 when you turn off the car it takes about 2 seconds before the engine stops It starts and run great just takes 2 seconds to turn off and engine vibrates when it does?

This is called dieseling. When you shut the engine off, it goes "Pocka, Pocka, Pocka" a few times and finally stalls.

In an older, carbureted car with a gasoline engine, it is an indication of too low octane fuel being used, or too rich a mixture.

In a newer, fuel injected car with a gasoline engine, oddly enough it is an indication of essentially the same thing. However, it often requires electronic adjustment of the fuel injection system or the vehicle's computer.

With a diesel engine, it is actually very common (part of the reason it is called dieseling), it may require nothing more than a good quality injector cleaner.

If you are not comfortable with DIY, take it to a local auto parts store such as AutoZone or Pep Boys and ask them to put the car on a tester. If there is anything wrong electronically, it will show and they can advise you of a good course of action.

Can you install a bigger turbo on your 280zx?

Yes. Installing a bigger turbo is somewhat of a complicated job, but is very possiable and practical for your 280zx. The most important thing to remember is your stock manifold has a t-3 type flange, so the turbo you buy has to also be a t-3 type flange. Many companies make these and they are very common. Id recommend a t3/t4 hybrid such as a Garrett TO4E. When you do this job its important to remember a few things. Your stock 280zx doesnt have a intercooler, it will be a good idea to make yourself a custom intercooler set up. Also you don't have a mass air-flow sensor in that car, you only have a air-flow sensor, so the sensor will measure "X" amount of air comming in and the computer will then give the engine "X" amount of fuel to match, this means you cannot run a bov vented to the atmosphere you must run a re-circulated bov and recirculate the air back to the intake of the turbo behind the afm. finally the last important thing to remember is this is all a custom job and you have to be prepaird to overcome some unforseen issues with this project. i suggest you do some serious internet research before you start this project, there are many sites with helpfule guides to do exactly this project, use them and you shouldnet have a problem.

Is a 1980 Datsun 280zx transmission the same as a 1981 Datsun 280zx transmission?

Yes. For the most part all 1979-1983 280zx transmissions are pretty much the same, manual to manual and auto to auto. The turbo transmission from 81-83 however is a Borg Warner T-5 style toploader. Something tells me through experience is that they will bolt up to a non turbo motor, but the driveshafts and rear end will need to be changed. Also, be aware that the older Z's from 70-78 will bolt up, but the driveshafts would definitely need to be swapped, especially if you are putting a 4 speed into it for whatever reason.
