Odd question: How uncommon is the OM616 turbo kit (intake and exhaust manifold) ?
I used to see them every now and then on F L E A B A Y ... but no longer.

Project 2018: Really get the car finished -- Turbo OM617 greater than 175 MPH goal.
RED W123 - left Germany as 240D in 1982. Full AMG body kit less rear apron, 2:65LSD, five speed Getrag 717.400, manual steering, read leather interior, manual brake conversion, electric water pump (EWP), and a bunch of other goodies ...

Personally, the desigh aspects were horrible & you would do better cutting down OM617 parts or fabbing your own.
