Hello fellas ,I have heard a few gu turbo diesels getting around with a big exhaust on and you can really hear the turbo spool up,they sound like bloody trucks.Does any know if this is just exhaust and if so what size .Or is it turbo upgrade?Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Marty

I dont know much about them but I have always been told to stay clear of the 3ltr BUT I spoke to a car dealer and he said he wont buy or trade one unless it has done over 150,000km because he says that the bugs will have been iroined out of them by then.Like I said ....I couldnt tell you but hearing ...

I would rebuild motor first unless it has low k's but still I would rebuild it.
Dont forget being a petrol you have to decompress the head.Also I would be concerned about the torque range as I had a vl turbo and it had lag till about 3000rpm.Which means once you decompress the head you will find it ...

Hi guys ,I have a snorkel on the car but notice if i go through heaps of water or mud I find traces around the air filter ,therefore it is not sealing and is getting sucked up from the engine bay.
Has any one else had problems with the factory plumbing leaking.I mean one quick look at it and it ...

thanks for the welcome fellas and yes warren is right its a petrol.Apart from the expense with fuel I cant find any reason to buy a diesel.I have had it in real deep water and it seems to like it.I like the power it has to tow a 6m boat up the beach too.Anyway thanks again marty
