Purchased a set of twin turbo manifolds with 2 rebuilt Garrett T-61 turbos and hardware for my W116 450SE (1976).
Engine work done will handle the turbos and don't anticipate any problems.
My questions are,what should the timing be retarded to and what should I set the boost to (lbs)?Do you think I will need an adjustable fuel pressure regulator?
Timing is set at TDC w/vacumm! TIA
For those interested,you can view the "patient" at my photo album at
Quite a collection you got there! Looks like we have the same sickness! :-)
On my heckflosse, the only body work I have to do is replace a rusted through section in the corner beneath the rear right door, any idear how hard it is to replace?

I have the same gaping hole on the drivers side of my W123.Saving that project for this winter,but will more than likely weld on a whole new lower quarter panel due to the arch infected with some rust also.
Will do the documentary Al.

Yeh, looks like I'll have to do the same. Maybe I'll solder it...
