Denco or DTS turbo

Carnt comment on the Denco turbo but I put a DTS turbo on my old 4 Runner and have just purchased a S/H DTS kit that Im soon putting on our Cruiser(1HZ).I have just had it totally o/hauled at a cost of $600.Carnt wait to get it on.
Are you putting a Intercooler on as well.Highly recommended on a 1HZ.Anything to keep the temps down.Also fit an EGT gauge and drive the vehicle of it.

i've got a DTS turbo and intercooler on my 1HZ, one thing i would do is put a 3" mandrell bent exhaust system on. fitted the turbo first with just standard exhaust for a week before i got the 3"system fitted, was pretty disappointed with the power gain running a standard exhaust. once the 3" system was fitted it was a different vehicle to drive.

DTS turbo kits give way better torque results than the Denco ones.

Krakka,
I also have a 1HZ in my standard 2003 Cruiser and am likewise considering fitting a turbo in the future. From recent conversations with an ExplorOz member, I was advised that when considering fitting an aftermaket turbo to a 1HZ that the existing non-turbo gearbox is not up to handling the additional power and torque. Have you likewise heard anything along the same lines and if so then what is your opinion on this matter?

Matt,
maybe I haven't explained what I meant correctly. From factory there are apparently two different manual gearboxes for the 100 series, one for the non-turbo model and another for turbo model. I will assume that the factory turbo gearbox is stronger then the factory non-turbo gearbox. If you have fitted many turbos to the 100 series 1HZ, would you therfore recommend changing the gearbox to the factory turbo one, or is it not necessary? Unfortunately I do not kow the two different moel nymbers for these gearboxes.

I will leave it at that then
