I had thought this same thing, I have not had a chance to really get in there and inspect this turbo. I would Assume it is a Garrett t3 variant. I have rebuilt 4 other Garret turbos myself with great success. My first rebuild having around 30k very very hard miles on it at this point. I am not sure if my 309d is pushing out smoke at start up since not all the glow plugs are working properly, but once I get the intake out of the way, it should be pretty clear if the turbo is leaking or not.
I was also reading the vac lines control the trans like you were saying. Thank you for the link. I will perform the work and report back.

Thanks for this information and the link. I am sorry I didn't spell my plan out a little better in my first post. I was pretty much wanting what you provided (so thank you very much) so that I could drive the car as is for six months to a year while making sure that everything is up to snuff. So your list of things is a great thing for me. Thank you very much.
I have a local buddie that has a 82 (I believe) 300sd that is helping me along with this. He has a injector popper and walked me through the process of pop testing them. I have a ultrasonic cleaner at work that I was going to use to clean them all up when they were apart. I was thinking about rebuilding them myself but was having a hard time figuring out what exact nozzles I need.
Thank you all very much for your help. It is greatly appreciated.
