I got the kit from Rich Roll Guy - the fabricated "test pipe and the EGR bypass." It worked great! All it took for removal of the turbo and the trap oxidizer was lots and lots of patient wrench work, with a variety of wrench shapes and lengths. Installation was even easier. I'm taking it on a long test drive next week.

My 85 Mercedes 300D, California emissions.

the turbo, with a chunk of the ceramic insides from the trap jammed in the throat of the turbo. It didn't make it to the innards, I got lucky!

This is the offending trap ox, and EGR. I hate it.
