Ebay has a used one (with manifolds, that I don't need, I have two
sets already) for $450. For the extra couple hundred I'll get mine

Advertised rebuild price is $550, about what I expected since it cost
me $400 or so 12 years ago when I did the one in the Volvo. Hopefully
that won't be much worse from oil starvation damage, I'll probably
haul it down tomorrow as my brother is doing the swap in the SDL

It is nearly impossible to tell if a turbo is good just by looking at
it or turning the compressor by hand.
Really need to have someone with the proper tools measure bearing

has just been rebuilt.
I'll look just for fu

The W124 300D uses the same turbo as the 86-87 SDL, but not the same
one as the later 300Ds with the 5 cylinder (those had servo controlled
boost, not mechanical). Not very many around, and I'd not trust any
"used" turbo, it would have to go and get checked out before I
bothered to install

Why rebuild? Other that for a 1985, it's smarter to purchase a cheap
used.one.

Lol, my brother just spent $780 to get the turbo out of the wrecked
300D fixed, they had to bore out the housing and install oversized
bearings it was so worn. Guess I should have replaced it before I

Soot: Given your choice of fuel, I wonder if the injection pump timing can
