Going a Turbo

Post by muddymav »

hey all just completed the rebuild on the td42, with a little bit of money left over i want to put a turbo on it. i have $2100 left and have access to about another $3000, this money should get me something at least half decent,just need a little bit more power to push the 35's.i was thinking a gu setup with different turbo on it but whats your thoughts.
i just want the best bang for bucks without going to crazy,cheers.

I would be looking at the Turbo Glide kit with the T28rs also known as a "disco potatoe" ball bearing turbo, maybe give them a ring and have a chat.

I have been looking around for a settup that mounts the turbo high up and found Turbo Glide a reasonable price. http://www.turboglide.com.au/ .

So what did you get for $5000? Not just a standard turbo kit I hope.

For probably about 4k

you can have the following

- custom up top manifold
- roller bearing turbo (disco potato)
- front mount intercooler piping
- all oil line and piping fitted
- 3" dump pipe off the back of the turbo

All you would need to do next would be, airbox snorkle and finish the exhaust.

They would have taken his fuel pump out and played (Increase fuel delivery and aneroid as well ??) with it for that price I would imagine. $5k for a Hair Dryer is big $$$$.

Got mine done there and it wasn't that much. Think it was $3900?

Goes well and getting good economy (about 13-14L/100ks) for running on 35s.
