Thanks for the info Marshall. My 190D definitely has a noticable increase in power at about 3000 RPM (could be a little lower - I'll pay more attention and see)...

Anyone out there have experience? The MAX torque is at 2800 rpm in the OM601.921 engine vs 2400 in a 617.912, but the torque curve of both is VERY wide and flat. None of my 601 engined cars (two were '84s and my '85 was a Euro car) had an EGR so I have had NO experience with defeating it. I think that only the California certified '85 190Ds had EGR, but I've never tried to work my way thru which ones did and didn't.
