Unlike a normal waste gate on a standard turbo the VGT Turbo needs vacuum at idle and low loads to spool up the turbo. In a rlaxed state the vanes are opened for low back pressure which gives less turbine speed for a given amount of exhaust gas. I will post pics tomorrow. Also Justin I don't want praise for this. I mearly posted this incase someone else has thought about doing the same.

Yes, but....
These guys drool over anything with good power. I mean, the fastest S Class diesel sold here in the States gets to 60 mph in 12 - 13 seconds, and only had 148 hp. Those are very meager figures, and many members here seem to be terribly ambitious at getting more power from their diesels.
My SDL has already been modified. Definitely, from the owner that came before me. I have stop watch, GPS, and videos to prove it. I would have a real problem driving a car that requires you to "plan" a passing maneuver on the highway, or even in town.
You have my praise, regardless. Enjoy it.
