Truckster,
I don't know who built the motor in the link but Kym Bolton is a winch comp competitor (sponsored by TJM) that drives a 225kw (at the rear
wheels) 4.2 Turbo GU Patrol. I'm sure if you were serious, TJM could put you in touch with him but I think Overlander's July issue has a good write-up about his truck.
He says he's running a "conservative 18psi" through a garrett turbo.
Regards, Trevor.

yea, but for some reason, Kyms thing is a POS... he was beaten by 3-4 secs in OBC by newbys in a fairly stock GQ in their first run... its usually gettin beaten by others.. weird but true

The videos on that site are awesome...had my attention for the Arvo, I'll have to go in early in the morning to make up for it......
Conman check out some of the other vids...especially the icelandic footage...you will be on the plane with me...:)
Does anyone know of any more of these sites with good 4wd footage?

I know we are heading towards an oil crisis, it is probably irresponsible and costs a small fortune to run, but damm I want one. Even though the 4WD is my main vehicle, I still think the hotted up Commodore V8's are music to my ears.
