just a few questions...
What engine is a garret m24 a/r .54 turbo for?
Will it fit on a 91 gq?
Will it be expensive to do even though i already have the turbo (i dont have any piping for it though, just the turbo)

with a .54 might run out of breath easily will spool early on all the engines maybe be ok on the diesel unless you rev your diesel hard then no..

would the turbo be suited for the gq if it was going to be unregistered n be built up to be a comp truck?
if not, i might try fit it to my hilux instead... i need all the power i can get out of the 2.8 diesel, thats why its retired from off road and is now a work car

wouldnt bother putting it on any patrol myself as its so small.. especailly a petrol comp truck..
it would probably run out of puff as 3000 rpm..

Honestly, it isnt going to be cheap to do winch comps.. some people are spending $10,000+ on a winch alone.
Maybe plan to do it in 4-5 yrs time when you have your trade.

then when you steak 2 tires at your first event, what do you do? As said, it isnt cheap, and probably not something you would wanna go into if you are short on cash flow.
