Does anyone know why or when the change was actually made. I can't find any information on this and all I have been able to do is look at cars on ebay. Then interesting thing is that when I look a 85 300sd's some have the 84 set up, the thing that really has me confused is I found a 1985 300sd that was made in 10/84 and it has the different style air cleaner that is closer to the passenger side fender. Then I found one that made in 3/85 and it has the 84 300sd set up. If anyone could please explain the difference and with set up is better please let me know. I also notice that the cars that do have the different set up, the turbo looks like it sits higher that on most of the 84 models.

the one with the airfilter behind the head light is a california model and was made in model year 1985 only, they had to put the air filter assembly there to allow room to raise the turbo and install a trap oxidizer.
