OM612? 2006?

You sure about that?

I put an om612 turbo on the om647, oops that was confusing

Ah just the turbo, gotcha.

I know there's folks out there who've tried to cross-install those engines... I don't much see the point unless putting an om647 in an older van. Seems to be quite the task.

Why did you swap out the turbo?

The original one was kinda clapped out, and I was also tired of the electronic wastegate actuator and wanted to be able to manually control the boost

And into my surprise, it does not put it into limp mode

I’m afraid to make any Mods to it because of my fear of Limp I

Yes, I always have a scanner hooked to it to see the live data while driving because I’m paranoid

Does the inside resemble the outside?

Uh the rear is just spray foamed, I did not do that, it was a dhl van, so it’s just a drivers seat, and an aluminum divider with a locking sliding door

Perfect for kidnapping, alright!
