How uncommon is the OM616 (4 cylinder) Turbo kit - Greazzer - 12-07-2014
Howdy,
Odd question: How uncommon is the OM616 turbo kit (intake and exhaust manifold) ?
I used to see them every now and then on F L E A B A Y ... but no longer.

Most have probably been crushed due to scrap prices. When I worked auto salvage, I found one & stuffed the whole thing in a 6WD Samurai. Out of the 30+ 240Ds we had, it was the only one in 5 years. That was in the early 2000s.
Personally, the desigh aspects were horrible & you would do better cutting down OM617 parts or fabbing your own.
