Howdy y'all. I hope you take kindly to visitors because I'm not a Benz guy. I pulled a turbo off an '84 300D and 'tossed it' on my car last year and I've never been able to find a definitive answer to it's A/R and trim. I'd reeeaally love to find a compressor map. And I NEED to find the flow rating. I think I did the math on the trim when I got it and it was 47 or something odd.

I'm looking to grab a new one since this one was too rusty to clock the exhaust side and the drain is at an angle, causing me some slight smoke issues. I wonder if there's any differences from year to year?

I'd really appreciate some info, I'm an active member on several other forums and know how the search thing goes This definitely seems like the best forum to find an answer, you guys seem knowledgeable and respectable.

You fooled me I thought this was a thread asking for the Bearing Clearances, Shaft OD and so on.

That'd be fine and dandy if I knew what I had other than a t3. Oh and the W123 chassis is not listed under garrett's replacement model selection. Every other forum's the same stupid answer "It's too small" or info that doesn't match. I know somebody on here's gotta know somethin about this badboy.

Damn, you guys got a nice admin, edits AND self-deletes.

Under "T3-45" (hmm 45 is probably the trim...). Some years got the kkk turbo instead.

Great link aaa, gonna bookmark that for future reference even. I was able to find a compressor map for the t0345 quickly, knowing it's name. Thx. I'll be looking for a newer model if I want an upgrade it seems.
