Do it, my 100 series is a
hill sniffer, it slows down before the
hill even starts.
We plan to install a turbo and intercooler next year, if you can afford it go for an intercooler too as your engine life will be extended due to low combustion temperature. At least that is what the turbo guys tell me!

HI Pisces, another way to look is a supercharger, speaking from experience with a patrol a s/c is far superior than a turbo. Where a turbo kicks in round 1800 revs the S/C is there at idle which gives the diesal so much low torque in low revs , bees nees for towing, may be more expensive than a turbo but the same price as a turbo with intercooler with the same power. Other benefits are no idle down needed, fully servicable. Col
