Slobodan, can you confirm if the turbine housing off a 5-cylinder Mercedes turbo diesel (W123-era) is the same "type" as what we have on the D24T? I had a conversation with Tom Bryant looking for a suitable replacement turbine housing if the funky integrated wastegate were to fail. My idea was to use the turbine housing from the MB because it looked very similar (wastegate, exhaust down pipe mounting (bolts instead of studs/nut)), etc.
This picture was pilfered from eBay auction #320349918326:
Any thoughts on the matter?
