1985 300TD Turbodiesel - Boost Intercooler - Any Experience?

My 1985 300TD Turbodiesel runs on SVO. The car has good compression and runs great. The car gets to 60mph in about 13s which I believe is to be what's expected from a well tuned specimen. My aim now is to improve the performance beyond that. I have installed some of the performance-enhancing modifications recommended on this web site, including Monark injectors and a fuel boost pump. (Of course I also have Kent's performance tuning manual which has been very useful;-)

Seat Bottoms

I will be ordering your kit to repair my sagging drivers seat shortly but want to know if the drivers and passengers seat bottoms are interchangeable. In addition to sagging , the driver's seat has some issues with the MB Tex while my passenger seat is virtually new.

79 240d intermittant starting problems

Sometimes when I turn the key nothing happens for asecond or until I wiggle the key a little. Most recently the turn of the did nothing except turn on dash ligts and accesories. After waiting 15 min or so it turned over instantly. Is my tumbler the likely cause or should I be looking elsewhere?
