300tdt 4matic
I'm surprised it can handle stock power Just look at the front prop shaft...
Hi Kennobi 75,
there´s a lad in northern germany, who told me he drove his 300tdt w124 with bigger self-made pump, manifold and exhaust (I´m not sure about turbo …). He told me he had 300 hp and drove his originally mounted stock-auto-gearbox 85k miles until he had to swap it for a manual. I consider him as reliable person. And by the way he works as machine-engineer ….
My personal opinion:
Just back off from throttle when auto box starts to shift and do not hall ass again before new gear fully entered.
No burn outs ...
I would consider a 50 k with 300 hp realistic any way with the stock gearbox and stock technique of the car if you´re not always racing …

do a google of turbobanditens 4matic builds, the system should be able to sustain quite a lot i think with modifications.
got a 300tdt 4matic w124 from 1992 myself that might need a better pump someday, so post any progress!
