OK, I got a little more info. First the bad news. The kit will be approximately $1850 USD, thanks to a lousy exchange rate. And we don't know if it will fit USA engines or not (but he might fab pieces for USA models - need to ask). The good news is, he has been doing these for 15+ years and apparently the kit works well - no grenading OM60x engines when the power is turned up. Also good news is there are no injection parts to be replaced, just an internal adjustment to the IP to provide more fuel. Anyway, for more details I need to call Mosselman directly and ask some questions. I'll probably call tomorrow night (11pm here is morning over there). If anyone is still seriously interested and would like me to ask a question or two, post it here and I'll see what I can find out (not making promises!).
The stuff I plan to ask about includes: Will the kit fit USA models and if not, can he fab pieces to make it work; is any cutting required on the car; where does the intercooler mount; what is the approximate install time; can he fax me the installation instructions or any photos; and finally is there any power gain off idle or at low boost, or is the gain all at high RPM/boost conditions. I don't want to be a pest so I'm hoping to keep the questions short & direct (plus a call to Holland ain't gonna be cheap!
) But I definitely want to know more before plunking down that kinda cash! :p I still haven't decided if I'm going to go for it but I'll post what I find out. Sure would be nice to have power equal to the 98/99 E300 OM606 turbo in my 124! Mmmmm.
