How long will last the engine ?
This is another proof that the poor Landy's can take a lot of punishment !

9 out of 10 times sites that sell turbos badly exagerate the power increases... That said may work I don't know. You can crank any diesel but the question is if the bottom end will hope up. Some do some don't... The good news is 300TDis are direct injected so they have a quite ability for increases in power..

I agree with you Andre, the tune up of the pump which is set up very conservative from the factory is enough to have a nice torque.
I just brought the subject up so people can see how much this engines can be screw up.
Standard they have to last 600k +
