6mm elements - sounds interesting, I see them discussed in the 1st link mbz123 posted above, but as I've only ever tuned petrol engines I've no idea what they are and what they look like!
Being a 3 litre Turbo right now it's not bad. Not super fast, but gets to about 200 km/h and isn't too slow in acceleration.
The car runs at 0.9 bar of boost (12-13 psi) and I don't know how much more boost the turbo can give, but a 20 bhp increase in power would be welcome, I guess (I'm assuming the factory quoted figure of 150bhp is right & if so 170bhp would be nicer).
Not sure I want to be fitting an exhaust temperature gauge. I guess I could, sounds necessary if I want to get a little more power - at least whilst I'm tuning it. But I don't want to lose driveability or smoothness of idle, nor reliability!
I have another Benz 300DT sitting under a cover, with the same (identical) engine as mine. I wonder if I should just whip the pump off and send it to someone like: https://www.facebook.com/dieselmeken - and have them re-work it for use in my car. Then when the re-worked pump comes back I just need to switch pumps between the two cars, re-set the throttle linkage and increase boost a little...?
I presume that's all, I haven't done much research yet - but could this be a good way forward?
I'd rather not be doing a lot of work, tweaking, etc. I don't mind spending a bit of money to get this work done, just want the best possible result straight off.
Not looking for huge power either - as I don't want to kill a perfectly good automatic box. My wife wouldn't drive a manual either.

Yep, the EGR is still hooked up.... that's something I need to find a better solution for, as it makes a helluva mess and is just for reducing emissions (I guess)!
