Its the old story, more power, less engine life. :o)
As far as I can remember of the manual, the figures as as follows.
2.8 non turbo
60kw (?) and about 200nm (L200)
6deg advance on the injection pump
2.8 turbo (no intercooler)
75 kw and about 260nm (L200)
9 deg advance on the injection pump
boost about 11 psi.
2.8 turbo with intercooler (pajero and later L200?)
92kw and about 300nm
12 deg advance on the injection pump
boost about 11 psi.
The turbo models have slightly larger intake valves, a slightly higher lift on the cam and slightly lower compression pistons (18:1 instead of 20:1?)
My pajero also has a boost line from the turbo to the injection pump for extra fuel on full boost.
So you could run the intercooler, and it would give a cooler running engine, but may not be worth the cost if you don't run the extra fuel boost.
Really comes down to the aftermarket turbo kit you get.
I am running 15 psi boost and getting about 100 to 105kw and about 350nm, but also have an EGT and boost guage installed and only ocassionally use full boost. Drive on 12 to 13 max boost normally.
