Mate,

Injectors - Yes

Radiator - Have it checked, costs $30.

MTQ should calibrate pump after fitting turbo. If your running big psi, you'll need the pump to be modded as well.

3 inch exhaust will reduce the EGT's alot more than 2.5 (from experience).

Have fun mate!

Chris.

Go aftermarket, garrett or schwiezer (spelling??).

Had schwizer on TD42 91 running 12psi modded fuel pump 3 inch mandrell bent exhaust @ 165hp at the rears. Went well!

If you want someone to fit it, I'd allow 4k plus exhaust, then you may even have some change!

Gday all, Been looking at the sad excuse of an intercooler wasting room in my GU. Anyone upgraded this intercooler and if so, did it fit back on top again, and did it make much difference.

You would never see those gauges when you need them. Going up a steep hill, rutted, or greasy, you would have to spend too much time looking at the track concentrating to see the EGT.
