There has been a few threads lately on turbo's so I thought I would share with you all a turbo sucsess story. (mine).
About a month and a half ago I fitted a garret variable vane turbo to my navara and have put a few tanks of diesel through now.
My fuel economy is about the same 10's around town and mid 9's on the highway but economy was not the reason for the change.
What I was after was a bit more power when towing.
The change is unbelieviable you cannot flick the gear stick fast enough as the turbo has no lag at all. The car will pull from 1000rpm in fourth gear with no labouring at all , so all in all am very happy with the results.
What was interesting was when the dyno was done with the larger than standard tyres was how much torque and power was lost.
I remember reading a thread not long ago when I think footy put up some results with different tyre sizes.
In my profile is two dyno charts one from me the other was another navara with the same work done as mine just smaller tyres
It is a real eye opener what tyre size can do to performance.
So if anyone else is thinking of doing this I can highly recomend it.

Regards Ross
