i've just recently acquired an 87 300TD with turbo, i had a 603 non-turbo so i don't know much about turbos...
anyway, i know enough to have the oxidizer replaced, but over here i don't think the recall/replacement applies...
so i have to do this on my own... so what do i have to do? just remove the football shaped oxidizer and just bridge the gap? does tube size matter? or can i just remove the innards of the trap so i don't have to fabricate the flanges? thanks
