I have fitted a DTS kit to a HZJ79 a few years back. I cannot comment on the denco kits, but I found the DTS kit good. BUT I cound not get boost under 10psi untill I fitted one of their top mount air-air intercoolers. This brought post cooler to 8-9 psi and dropper egt's below 500 pushing hard. Also watch the braided lines, have seen a few weep.
Cheers, Adam

I had Denco, and the installer (agent) couldnt sort it out, neither could 2 highly respected 4wd shops - in their defences, none had a Dyno..

Denco called me after reading my questions on turbos on another forum, and invited me to their offices to get it sorted Free..

When I got it back from them, it was a new car... Highly recommend them just on their after sales service, worth the cost.

The other thign to look at, Some turbos are low mount, some are high. Denco is High mount. higher up out of mud and waters way.. but makes it harder to fit a top mount cooler.

I have a Denco kit of my HJ60 (2H). I looked around locally at who was selling what and ended going with the Denco because, 1) the installer (Statewide Turbos in Tas) sells, fits, services, repairs, rebuilds turbos - thats all they do; and 2) the guy I dealt with at Statewide didn't bag out other brand turbos like the 4wd shops I went to did (if their marketing plan includes bagging out the opposition then they need a new marketing strategy).

If its for competition use then why not go a custom set up!!! otherwise I run a DTS and love it but belive either are fine, main thing is the actual turbos, DTS use a water cooled Mitsubishi TD05 where Denco use and standard type Garret. From my investergation I found that the Garret is easliy repairable and the TD05 is basicaly a thow away unit. Check out Z()ltans build on the members page, he is doing his own set up!!!
