78 300d non turbo vs 83 300d turbo
O.K.- so i looked at another benz this weekend. pretty nice car- only 151,000 0n the clock, if the odometer works. didnt get a chance to drive it, been parked a year or so and is a storage unit now. owner parked because it was "acting up" what ever that means- fuel filters would be my first step, i think.
any how my main ? is how much of a differernce in power is there between a turbo and non turbo? i believe this engine is in the same family as my 300td, correct. I am a greaser, so i would be looking to replace the wifes gasser w/ this vehicle. ( of course, she would get the wagon, and I this car  ) so, i am getting out of my speed racer age, but dont really want a slug of a car. car is in good shape, except the r rear corner got creased by somebody, and i cant really see the interior,as it is being used as a storage unit. it is way nicer than the 83 300d(turbo,of course) that i was looking at in the same price range, plus has 115,000 less miles. of course they are both brown, not the wifes favorite color .http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e303/mohoneywell/123188651781_3300.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e303/mohoneywell/123188624133_3300_1.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e303/mohoneywell/123188598021_3300.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e303/mohoneywell/123188584837_3300.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e303/mohoneywell/123188563461_3300.jpg

the difference is 88hp versus 125hp at 4000rpm.
before that the difference is not that great and the naturally aspirated may actually be better on take off.

Don't forget torque, that's where the most difference is. Once the turbo spools up around 2000 RPM the difference is like night and day. Having said that, I think the power of my 240D, which is comparable to a non-turbo 300D with an automatic, is adequate.
