Rusted out beat down 300d turbo 82' -- RIP
Nice body, tons of ridiculous mechanical issues - 300d turbo 82' /motor 85'

That hunk on the 85 is some kind of emissions control device. There is a vacuum line coming off of it that you can plug up. I should think it will be quite compatible and an easy swap in. Just make sure to check if it spins and that the fins aren't all banged up with a wobbly shaft.

-1982 300D Turbo, 280k miles, ALDA apparently maxxed, fram 8038, 12 lbs boost, non-egr manifolds, W/M injection, 4 brake light mod, Gen II w126 front rotors/calipers, 4-speed swap
In the works: A/W IC, adjust pump, turbo rebuild (w/60 trim comp wheel)
-1980 300SD, 110k, project car. Goal is to get it lookin' like it did on the showroom floor (body and interior wise, not necessarily under the hood )
-1974 240D, FRESH PAINT!!!!!!

(03-21-2013, 05:15 PM)Hercules Both will work,air valve limits turbo boost,so turbo comes on smoother.Use earlier version if possible.
now I got a full picture. thanks Hercules!
