Yep, definately seeing this.

You typically need to do some other modifications in order to disable EGR on the 90-95 diesels, while retaining normal boost pressure...

Any idea where I can find what else needs to be done, or should I just go back to the EGR?

Edit: Found a thread about changing the waste gate actuator out in a 602 engine (2.5 liter, 5 cylinder in early 90's 300Ds). http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=212097&highlight=egr+computer

And this thread about tricking the computer in a 606. http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=168261&highlight=egr+computer

Still looking for one for a 603 for a W140.

The MB dealership is out of the metal gaskets for the EGR. Can I just use some of the high temp copper silicone that came with the kit?
