TurboDiesel engine Lacks Power??
I have an 83 Mercedes 300sd TurboDiesel
The engine Lacks Power Unless I put the pedal to the floor
Then It goes like a bat out of hell
Can anyone help me??
What would make the engine lack power??
I remember my friend had an old turbodiesel & he had to clean out one of the lines to get the power back
Hi Everyone

The boost protection relay can be bypassed buy just running the line from the intake directly to the alda if you want to run more that 8psi boost
The ALDA Is the small square box on the IP if the line gets plugged it will not add enough fuel on boost! also you can loosen the 10mm nut adjust the screw cc or out! then tighten down the 10mm nut for a little more fuel off the line! helps off the line torque a lot!
but to much will make it smoke a bit more! not a big issue but a boost gauge and EGT gauge are highly recommended!
