YES! When the WVO wiped out my injection pump I could not find a good IP pump for my '81 300d. I had a IP from an "83 300SD in the shop with over 300k miles on it and used that. The car runs smoother with NO smoke than it ever did with the old pump.

One issue is that the turbo pumps put out more fuel in cc's per stroke than the non-turbo ones. I suspect that since my donor pump had so many miles and was not putting out as much when it was new, that compensated for an over fueling condition that I could have had.

I actually shot a video on it that was never finished so I will put that on my list to load up here soon.

It looks weird under my hood seen the ALDA on a non-turbo car and it confuses those who know.....
