Anyone one here put a turbo and 3 inch exhaust on their 4.2 NA GQ?

Hi Bruce,
I put a turbo on my GQ about 3 1/2 years ago..... I did have it on a dyno back then but can't remember the figures. It does have heaps more grunt, I did it purely to enable the GQ to pull our trailer with less effort. I have had mates with n/a's keep up on the highway, (Not towing) the difference is that they're revving it hard and I'm cruising.
I bought the kit from Turbo Glide Systems in Russellvale Web Site HERE it came with a 2 1/2 in exhaust as opposed to the 3", but still is a great improvement.... brings the 4.2 to life!


Cheers

Brian

Hi Bruce

I put a Turbo in my GQ last year for the same reason I had it done at 4wd systems in Adelaide they checked out the motor did all the tests I think from memory they gave it about 80% boost and a 3" exhaust now I can sit on the speed limit all day towing the camper what I did before I had the turbo fitted was I had the injectors and injector pump done and the only thing I should have done was to do it all years ago

Why don't you add one of these.................It'll go then.

I hope what he is towing is a flat deck as I doubt the camper would hold him back for long as it would soon get lighter.

Isumu -Rod from Rods Coutry Camping a 4.2 patrol Turbo with a 3" and it went like a V8 but he went to an 8M trailer with extra load and upgraded to an F250 on gas which he had tuned again at the Maitland NSW 4x4 show by Derek Watkins of Gas Tech and Derek made the comment that it was the strongest and fastest F250 he had driven.

I might add that towing a 24ft trailer up mount Ouzley Wollongong with the Patrol it was no match for the 3.1 MU pulling a 24Ft trailer I had to pass him half way up as he was holding me back.(Ha Ha)

His trailer was full mine was was empty I wasnt going to say that but I didnt want the Patrol Guys in tears.
