What is this, why is it in my turbo
Pulling apart my donor parts car and there is something bizarre in the exhaust part of the turbo. The car is an '85 300SD California version. Pretty certain is has to do with emissions control but it looks like it could really affect turbo performance.
Any one know anything about these?
Lol awesome. That's the internals from the trap oxidizer as ^he said. It's basically a catalyst for a diesel. Mercedes had to put it preturbo to keep the temps up in order to keep the thing working. Unfortunately it causes the issue you have.
