STT turbo kit enquiry

A quick question from Australia where the w123s never had a turbo on the diesel.
Did the states ever get the STT turbo/intercooler kit for the OM617?

Anyone got one they want to dust off and sell to me?

From what I've seen that's a pretty rare kit...only one person I know of who has one. A stock set of turbo manifolds and a universal intercooler might be your best bet.

it's that steering wheel on the right blocking you from having the turbo ain't it?
still, it should be possible to cram into the pipe a spinbox... vettes used to aftermarket into the muffler spots a TURBO, and remote pipe the intake...

I seem to remember reading about a member swapping turbos onto wrong side drive cars.

A remote turbo would be possible too, and if it's far enough away you don't need an intercooler
