Did you install the full kit including the supplied electronics?
You want to make sure through the Mosselman engine/fuel management that you set your air fuel ratios to around .85 Lambda as you don't want to lean out under boost.
There was an article in the August 17, 1987 Autoweek written about the man who did my recent TurboTechnics install.
Willy Mosselman stated in that article that the USA installer made the M103-12V go faster then he could.
With a 3.64:1 rear the 0-60 was 4.96 and the 0-100 was 11.98.
My TT 300CE M103-12V TT with the stock 3.07:1 rear runs 0-60 in the low to mid 5 second range and two weeks ago in 40F ran a 14.39/98.68 1/4 mile with no traction off the line.
With traction I should see mid 13's and 100mph +
Who needs a V8 when you can have a 3.0L torque monster ?

I bot the 1986 300 E that was written up in the Aug 17 1987 Autoweek article from a friend 2 years ago. It had 69K on it... now has 80K. It continues to be servived by the orginal tuner, Brian Murphy of Willow Automotive in Chicago, IL. Fortunately for me, I have little reason to "visit" with Brian as the car has been very reliable. I drive it May thru November and really enjoy it. It's quite fun .... and quick. I am considering rebuilding the turbos this year, more as a precaution than out of necessity. I really enjoyed reading thru this post. I will post a few pics after the holidaze....
