Larry,
Thanks for raising this-I too have been trying to figure out my turbo on
the same model.(1990 300D 2.5t.) Such a jump from the 240D. My turbo
was worked on before I got it so I know it is working. I'd be
interested to hear what other owners have to say about when it kicks ins
and how to tell its boost. This is my first MB turbo-have driven 900
turbo Saab's and Detroit Diesel turbo fire engines.
There should NEVER be a sudden increase in power. The power should be
smooth and continuous. If it's not, SOMETHING is wrong. Usually it's
ALDA adjustment, but sometimes the pressure line from the intake
manifold to the ALDA clogs or the overboost safety and EGR monitoring
circuitry limits power especially if the EGR system isn't working properly.
