That 400HP OM603 uses a GT37 turbo off of the 6.0L Powerstroke. I think there was ~400lb/ft of torque, and that was the limiting factor of the engine. If they went much higher than that they would break the crankshaft (from anecdotal evidence by other Finns). There are some 500HP plus OM603s over there, using Holset HX40s (and larger I think). Those are track cars though! If I can find someone to build manifolds, I have a GT37 I want to put on my wagon. :) John _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
