FWIW, I have an HX30 on my stock manifold in my 87 300SDL. So, it will fit in there, not sure how much less space a w124 would have, but I could not mount it OR my .971 turbo to the .971 manifold I had due to the spring perch being in the way by 1"!! I later found out my motor mount is completely collapsed, so when I replace it I'll gain about 2" and that may allow me to use that manifold.
The HX30 is pretty sweet.
PS, got myself a 6mm pump from Herlevi, 90cc. Going in next week hopefully. Dave, lots of inspiration from your testing, I am hoping I will be ok with the HX30 and small intercooler running 90cc.

Thanks for the info! Have any photos or additional info on the HX30? Curious how much larger the turbine / compressor is compared to the factory 3.5L turbo.
90cc is about the max we can get from the 6mm elements, I think, unless Goran has additional tricks... but I think he generally uses larger elements if more fuel is needed. 90cc should be good for 200-220hp or so assuming adequate airflow.
