Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!)
Hi,
I have a question: As I am making future plans on my OM605 with electric pump in w124 build, I want to have a little more power, but want to keep the low end torque of the engine. As it is a daily driver, I am not looking for too much power. I want to keep the stock pump, but remap it.
But I want to start with a better turbo. I thought I might go with a vacuum actuated VNT from a 270 (GT2259V) or 320cdi (GT2359V). I know that I will have to build a boost controller. But which of these two turbos will be better for my needs? I want a turbo that spools like the original one or even earlier, but I also like to have more top end for more power. I do not necessary need more boost, I think the c250s stock torque at 3000rpm is enough for my needs.
Oh, I want to keep the engine smoke-free!
