1984 300D TURBO DIESEL Sleeper
150K miles on the clock.
So far I have deleted both the EGR and ALDA. I feel I am getting more power in the low end but not a lot of increase in black smoke. I am able to do minor burnouts
What is the next logical component to upgrade? I want to create custom cold air intake. I have also seen available turbo and injection pump upgrades but those are a bit out of budget at the moment.
Any tips on adjusting the gas pedal linkage? The car really has no go until about 3/4 to full throttle.
I intend to keep this thread updated with photos as the car progresses! Cheers!

I believe you left hand drive folk have a bushing on the firewall that wears causing excessive slop in the throttle linkage.
Nice car, just needs the cut and polish finished
1978 300D, 373,000km... OM617.912 with a Holset HX30W, 7.5mm IP, 711.113 5 speed (project car, 7 years off the road and counting ;/)
1977 250 270,000km (parts car)
1977 300D (ex 280) 500,000km
1981 240D 498,000
1975 HJ45 ???,000
2001 2.8TD Rodeo 4x2 - 456,000 - DD
It *should* already have the best cold air intake right from factory

I believe you are correct on the worn out bushing for the throttle linkage. Looks absolutely terrible. I am curious as to how the linkage is not binding up. Will be thoroughly going over it and replacing the bushing.
I will be putting the stock intake back on after purchasing a new filter and filter housing bushings.
