98-99 E300 diesel performance
so i was poking around the internet and i guess pretty much all 90's mb diesels have head cracking and gasket issues except for the 98 and 99s. these are of course the turbocharged versions. so any ways to mod these things without breaking the bank

Anyway, for a 98-99 E300, you can get a chip which basically maxes out the injection pump fuel delivery... should be good for roughly a 20hp gain, from ~172hp to ~210hp. You can't get any more power without modifying the pump by installing larger elements, which would then require a custom EPROM chip ($$$$). Changing the turbo, IC, etc will at best just reduce temps, or shift the power curve around, but that won't increase peak power output unless there is more fuel to go with it. :choochoo: |
Get rid of the micro sized stock turbo.
