I am inquiring what manifold I will need to make this work. As soon as you google anything to do with Mercedes, only w116 and w123 stuff comes up.. NOTHING TO DO WITH ITS TURBO..

Apparently Mercedes used three flanges on their old stuff pre-1995 ish.





I have to chuckle a bit when I randomly find one of my pics online.  The top flange is from an OM603 ('87), the second is from an OM602 ('90) and the third is from an OM606 ('99).  The latter is currently slated to be installed on my Vanagon ALH swap
'87 300TD (OM606)
'90 300D (OM602)
'89 Vanagon Bluestar (ALH)
'01 EV Weekender (AXK)
'04 Passat Variant (BHW)
