GCG Turbos in Condell Park in Sydney are doing mine.
But mine is being done on a recoed exchange engine, so not exactly the same situation.
My total cost was $7225 for Schwitzer turbo and water/air intercooler.
The breakdown on those costs were.
Turbocharger Kit - Nissan Patrol - $3,618.18
Fitting of Turbocharger Kit $800.00
Intercooler Kit PWR Barrel Small - $1,575.00
Fitting of Intercooler Kit $500.00
1 Gauge - Boost -30/+30psi (Mechanical) - $75.00
Plus GST to bring it all up to $7,225.00
And I sure can't fault their service, they've been really really good to deal with.

Obviously doing it yourself would drop those costs a lot, and dropping the intercooler would drop it even more.

I don't do the pricing you'd need to speak to James but I suggest the MTQ(DTS) kit as it uses a Mitsubishi turbo, water cooled and 360 degree thrust. The intercooler isnt a requirement but I'd suggest the 3" exhaust as it will reduce spool time, increase peak torque and lower exhaust temps.

wanting to know if the motor would be able to handle it.
all depends on the cars history as to servicing how well and long it will go for.
can you just let me know some prices and places. thanks guys
prices - call around. anything from $3000 to fuckin lots.
Dieseltec Lilydale do great work.
Denco - awesome after sales service.
PGS, bloke posts on here, Joel I think it is seems to know his shit.
On Track 4x4 do many comp trucks, and get some real last KW happening
Safari
DTS
AXT
etc
plenty of places can do the work, fit the kits, custom make kits, just depends if you want quality work, or cheap crappy work.
