[zech007]

what rear end r u running in, it sounded like your running at 3500 RPM @ 71 mph

[Turbo617]

3.46 from a non-turbo 300D.

Is this the 5 or 6 cylinder?

I always wanted one of these.

Do u set boost in same way as wastegate by adjusting spring that controls veins as opposed to gate?

Is it 4 speed auto?

I worried about parts being expensive; are they?

[DieselBenz]

OM617 was never a 6 cylinder... only a 5 cylinder NA or turbo was made.

4 speed auto was the norm in these cars.

Parts aren't expensive if you hunt around... ebay and NOT going to the dealer unless it's the last resort!

[tpvalley]

What about things like brake disks and head gaskets?

Same as normal cars like ford?

[zech007]

I just use a boost controller, easier.

[tpvalley]

how does that work?

Celeste likes the way HER car performs...
