Do diesels benefit in FE with a certain type of header? either short or long tube? I know for gas engines it is a pretty simple equation to tune a header shape for a specific engine size and rpm. I welded up one for a geo metro that was tuned for peak torque, which is generally the engines most efficient rpm. I would gladly do the same for the little fintail diesel if it would help.

What year range and model of mercedes were most likely to have the more efficient turbodiesel with the 5 speed manual?

Thanks again guys for all the input, the car rolls in on thursday, then I will get some pics up.
