Want to go turbo. That´s for sure. What should I do ?

1. Buy a factory TD42T off a wrecker (maybe trade in my N/A TD42

2. Keep my nice and trustable N/A TD42 and get a Safari or AXT turbo kit

Think both moves are around the same $$$. I´m not rich, but economy is not my priority. Power gain is.

What would you do ?

I would think # 2 is 1/2 the price of #1...

I'd go turbo on current engine. At least you know the history of your engine, against ??? from a wrecker donk.

The aftermarket kits usually give much better results than the OEM Nissan gear.

Makes sense to go the one which will give better performance.
