Good Luck.
BTW, on my 300 SD I just backed the ALDA screw out 1/2 turn and it made a world of difference in off the line power. I also had a mechanical boost controller set at 14psi (to go any higher without more fuel is a waste)
On the OM603 I have now in the SDL I just removed the ALDA.
I also blocked off the EGR and ARV valves. If you take the EGR valve off the intake, the hole is the perfect size to be blocked by a quarter. I went all 'authentic' and stuck a 1981 quarter in my 1981 300SD  |
I will try your advice on the ALDA .... do you know what the base setting is? It may not be right from the get go but the car does run well and seem pretty quick compared to most i have driven.
