after being in a non cooled patrol running a safari turbo and i think 12psi from memory, wasn't that impressive, drove another mates that night that had been cut into a ute, garret turbo cooler and pump work that throw's you into your seat and chirps 3rd gear!

just put a garret BB and front mount cooler on mine, but is now being held back by the fuel pump, saying that it kicks ass over no cooler runnings slightly less boost. do it but your just going to open pandora's box and keep spending money till your happy, my cooler is a ebay special too!
bundy's suck ass
LWB patrol's are where its at!

a nice big effecient good quality front mount and piping will cost less than a grand. and a ballbearing turbo will cost around $1500 but will be well worth it. then just get the pump timing adjusted and shell be a nice car to drive.
turbos are nice but i'd rather be blown
