yep - whatever you build yourself.
And then expect it to overheat at the drop of a hat etc etc..... The HD engine isn't really suitable without a lot of ( expensive ) work IMO.
Overall its an expensive option.

As said, nothing will bolt up easily to the Roza 1600 000.
And in regards to your title, the turbo off a rocky does not bolt up and would probably not be suitable anyway.

mighty mouse, what makes you say that a turbo will cause the engine to overheat at the drop of a hat??
my turbo made no difference what so ever to the running tempreature of the engine.

Experience..... but my problems were with low speed sustained off road type work - wasn't fantastic on really hot days but crawling was a killer.

hrmm. ok. i run a w2a intercooler and have been lucky enough not to have that problem. do a lot of sand work which is rather slow going at times.

Yes a bit different - a lot slower ( I've got transfer reduction gears as well ).
I've a PWR air/water intercooler that I never fitted to the diahatsu engine in the vehicle....... any pics of your system ? Would be very interested for my latest install. Space is getting VERY tight - I'm fitting a Mazda BPD - just couldn't get the HD's problems under control - overheating, broken rods, bores moving etc etc......
P.S. the link to your pics is broken

That works..... I couldn't keep the intercooler radiator clear there... have enough trouble with mud clogging the radiator and its about 300mm+ higher than yours ATM.
Have to squeeze it in somewhere though......
Very different types of use I'd say - yours is clean and straight mine is, well lets just say "well used".

hahaha.. my pics dont show the dents from rolling over in the dunes or bashing through tree's to my favourite fishing spots.
it mainly gets a lot of beach/sand action, esperance has lots of them to offer.
