If I fail I'll order a universal cat and have it welded in within a few days, pass will give me more time. The 100k estimation is my own, the odometer reads 81k but its going slow. 100k was just a rough number from the condition the car is in. Guess I'll see where this leads me.
Turbo idea is a long-term one...would be converting to EFI (probably megasquirt) and all the fun stuff associated with that. Interesting post on the performance paddock section notes that the 350SDL is basically a turbo manifold that will fit the M103 for a T3/T4 turbo. But, as the #1 rule in modding states, need to get everything working 100% before any mods.

I am not sure if this will help but did you look at coils for arcing. Mine cause all kinds of problems at under 2000 RPM . Just a cheap thought . I also went nuts and drew no codes Spent 1k and it was $120 parts
Worth a look IMHO.
Its just that I very seldom see anyone mentioning coils for anything intermittent, under load , or in any other way obvious , and I from experience going thru 3 certified MB techs know better .
Do not over look a posssibilty that is free to see . Any arcing , white stuff like everyone describes for caps/rotors. It was on one of my coils instead
