Ouch! Have to pay to play though, eh? Would you mind taking/posting a picture of it? I also imagine it was made to fit in your W210, which may or may not work in my W124.

Hello,
How did you get the waste get to work on pressure?
Cheers.

Certainly not like an average 350 chevy off the shelf performance part prices!
But not surprising!

You just have to get a pressure wastegate and bolt it to the housing and connect it to the wastegate tab. I have a different turbo so I never did it with the factory turbo but it should be easy just like people do it on the 2.5 turbos with a vacuum wastegate.

Cheers.
What turbo do you have? Does it make a big difference? I think I am in need... Need of a wee more power. More like kickdown tho, like a great thrust of power at low speed...
