I installed a K&N Cone Style filter to my 1984 300D over 10 years ago. Improved throttle response and fuel economy. Adjusted ADLA CCW half turn. Installed a 1985 higher stall Torque Converter. Spins right rear tire when the weather is cool in South Florida. I use Red Line RL-3 Diesel Ignition improver and run 12 lbs of boost. EGR removed and ports tapped and plugged. This mods have a made a quick reliable car. 318,000 miles and still going.

I did the same recently. Engine has a growwwwllll to it when accelerating. Fuel economy up about 2 or 3 mpg. eBay has some sellers who have this sort of thing -- search for 300sd air intake or soemthing like that.
