I have a 1992 Toyota Hilux Duel Cab 2.8l Diesel. I am looking at a rather large trip next year and I am considering adding a turbo to accomadate the distance and painfully slow standard diesel motor. I have noticed that there are a number of turbo systems available for the hilux and was wondering if anyone has expierence, be it good or bad, with any particular system. I live in Brisbane and the vehicle has just clicked over 150,000 k's.

Check out the Overlander forum. There's a couple of guys that have done theirs themselves.

I did the whole round trip thing of Aus after fitting a DTS system and wouldn't have a diesel without a turbo with the difference. there are a few important factors you need to be aware of and you are welcome to contact me at howesy@swiftdsl.com.au if you wish.
