I *think* you'll be looking at the better part of 2.5 k for a kit from a reputable mob. Prolly can be done cheaper if DIY

I've heard it makes a pretty big difference. But anythings a gain on one of these right?

Hopefully someone else will be able to help you out more.

Cheers,

i have been through a lot of banter on turbos - i am thinking of putting one on my 3B (Cruiser).

There are a couple of different types 2 examples - suggest do a search and have a read
AXT type- kicks in at higher rev range to top of rev range all up 3.5grand
Schwitzer type - kicks in around say 700rpm fades out over top end a bit cheaper prolly in at $2700 a la Denco diesel
Have heard blokes with both types swear by both types they reckon is a sweet power up over natural breather, good improvement not ball tearing
Reckon I am keen on the lower rev type = better off road
When you start upping boost it gets more expensive for intercooler, custom piping etc but any diesel fan will tell you best thing youll do..
I AM looking into holden v6 conversion cold be similar sort of costs in the end but much more mumbo i reckon..

cheers scott's $0.02
