I went the an10 route, probably cost me $150 vs the 250+ just for a used stock oil cooler on ebay. The hardest part was figuring out how to mount the new one as it was slightly larger. Junkyard would...

I was intrigued by this finding as my car was sucking in oil to the turbo as well. Popped one of these on yesterday and the car seems to have regained some extra power in the process! Great stuff,...

Well that's good to know that Rocketchip is still doing it. I think some places have stopped advertising but might still tunes if you email them. Seems most of them require you to send in the ECU but...

Do you know what tuner you are going to use? It seems as though some of the well sought after tuners of years past are not offering tunes anymore. Perhaps they are but aren't listing them? Either way...

I don't know if it matters but all of my muffler-less experience was with a 3" exhaust and Hx30 / S200/ TD05 but I don't think it really makes much difference. Maybe a t3 and stock exhaust provide...

You can probably sell that pump for $750 on it's own, although I will admit the 602 demand is probably lower than a 603 pump. Just something to consider. Good luck. I think that is a very fair price....

As a fellow 300SDL owner, no rust and no oil leaks would be a huge selling point for me!

Even with minimal body rust, any suspension items that get rusty turn into real PIAs when time to r&r.

Yes. It has had it this long, it will be fine. I bought one in 2008 that still had it with 200k miles. Got it replaced for free but still drove it for a week or two before it was done.
