Morning all,

Looking at upgrading the Navara to a 1HDT 80 series and hoping for a bit of feedback. I've heard good things about these motors (barring big end bearings), all be it that they are a bit gutless pre turbo kicking in. Spoke to AXT turbo recently who advised against intercooling them, and instead replacing factory turbo with larger garrett job. He believed far better power increase for similar investment. Hoping someone may have done a similar upgrade?
The other option is buying a low km 1hz 80 and doing the turbo kit in full. The 1HDT appeals a bit more to me as the fuel pump has the factory boost compensator. AXT are talking about 20% improvement with garrett unit.
Look forward to hearing your replies.
