...he he he, guess I should test my links before I pass them on--you got the right one.

That wagon is a turbodiesel TD--just piddling around with the stock turbo and injection pump, hoping to bump hp up from 148 to ~180. Turned up the fuel quantity this evening, but one of the charge air tubes blew off while testing my first 0-60 mph reading. The seat of the pants-meter told me it was a significant torque improvement while I had full boost (~11psi).

Sounds like we're both reaching for the same HP figures with our ongoing projects. I eventually plan to modify the injection pump with larger 7mm plunger/barrels and add a Holset 35/40. The Finns have routinely dyno-ed OM603's in that configuration at around the 400-450hp range. Sounds like fun.
