08-31-2015, 12:12 PM #2Are the om601 arms from a stock 190D? What can you get a om605 turbo engine for price wise over there? I'm looking to import one eventually for my s123.

Ye i quess so i had them from an old engine i had before i can send you the number on the arms if you want me to =), prob around 500-600 euro theyre pretty pricey.

(09-26-2015, 05:28 AM)Repetitio i had that problem too dieseeelstar, i dont know how much electric you have, but in my case the car was going into limp mode without showing it. A hose have been wrong connected to the magnetic valve before the wastegate. Maybe check that...
I have a mechanical ip so no electrics and The wastegate is directly connected to The vacum pump so it has vacum all the time.

The original garrett turbo has a vaccum controlled wastegate , not boost controlled like the older ones, try attach vaccum when engine is running to see if it moves.
