As I was looking at the engine, I did notice that it may be necessary to use the California-version intake manifold/turbocharger setup to clear the inner fender... but then again it seemed like there could be enough room. It makes me wonder if I should pull the California intake manifold from a 300D that's at the wrecking yard in case someone wants to do this conversion to their SL.
