did you ask gen3benz? I think the PS line doesnt matter. Mine are all straight connectors.

Which radiator did you use?

okay, cool, that's kind of what I thought since the w126 doesn't use any bends. I used the 2.6 rad (a new one), and I'm also using an m117 oil cooler as well, and probably some higher flow aftermarket fans. I'm an idiot though, and didn't notice until tonight that the pics I have of the Carlsson 5.0 190e clearly depict how they used a w126 V8 rad, and just cut the center support to go in front of and around the rad (since it is a couple inches taller than the 2.6 rad). Oh well, we'll see how this ends up working
