Here's why you can't trust EPC . . .

I've never seen the "top" off of a turbo ('98-'99) OM606 but I sure hope it's simpler than the mess they made on the NA version. Parents: this is what happens when you try to be "fair" to the family and divide things up evenly among 12 children (intake valves).

BTW, this is an excellent example of why you can't accept the drawing in EPC without checking. The actual plumbing in the engine is not quite what is drawn . . .







Thanks to Photoshop, this is what's actually in the OM606 NA engine. The parts list has the correct quantity of bits and pieces, fortunately, because that's what the dealer's parts guy and I went by.
