Have heard it said that an exhaust jack (bag blown up by the exhaust) can damage the turbo with back pressure, or something like that. Is this true?
What to look out for?
Have the chance to get an exhaust jack at a good price, i.e. on the borrow for nix for the next trip. Is it worth considering?
This is on a 2.8 pajero (old style turbo), and may need to use it on my friends new D4D prado (variable vane turbo) if we get stuck.
Do I pack it or not? Have a hilift jack, but new 4wds are not as jack friendly as they used to be with curved body panels and plastic bumpers. :o)
