Let's play name that turbo!
Let's play name that turbo!
I checked the vin and didn't see anything "special" other than the composite headlights normally found on Euro cars. Just kind of wondering what I stumbled upon? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance guys! (and gals if you're out there....)

'98 E300 Turbo "Juliette" - Brabus wheels and almost all the options a w210 could have
2007 Chevy 2500HD CCSB Duramax with about 400-500 rwhp depending on the tune I use
1983 300D Silver Exterior/Black inside - Sold and will be missed, may we never meet in a PnP.
I bought s 300D as a parts car however the engine is in much better shape than I originally thought and the rest of the car is pretty nice to. 186k miles and I got it from the original owner, kind of. I'll spare the details for now but anyways... pretty much everything works. I got to poking around under the hood and I found this... it's not a T3 and it's not a K26. What is it? Anyone know? I did a quick search and didn't find anything.

My other T3 has AiResearch on it so I assumed this was different. Well thanks for clueing me in.

The wastegate design gives it away. MB and VW's T3 turbos are pretty much the only ones to use that style.

Gotcha... Thanks again for solving my mystery. I was hoping it was going to be some super rare car or something haha... Oh well! I'm just glad my parts car turned into something I can just fix and drive...

Yep, factory T3 turbo. I saw an 85 300TD in the junkyard yesterday with that exact symbol. Yours might be a later production replacement, while it was still under warranty (haha, thats a rare statement for these cars!) for example.

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

04-07-2010, 04:59 PM #7Mine has a KKK turbo on it. I was pretty surprised to see it's a two stage. Is that what an '83 300SD with an OM617.951 would have come with or has it been replaced?

Garret is or was working on a type of turbo that had two compressor wheels, back to back. There is a write up in one of my turbo books.
