Purchased a set of twin turbo manifolds with 2 rebuilt Garrett T-61
turbos and hardware for my W116 450SE (1976).
http://www.big-toys.net/detail.cgi143.htm

My engine was rebuilt a while back to stage 1,by Paeco.
http://www.paeco.com

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

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.

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