Hi everyone, I'm new on here, I have a 98 Gq 4.2 diesel ute. thinging of putting a turbo on it to get a little more torque, will this engine handle 8 - 14psi? can i use the standard turbo set up off a GU 4.2 turbo disel? I don't want massive power just want a bit more torque and keep the reliability. any help would be good. engine has done 290kms, serviced every 5000kms blows no soot

Yeah will be fine with low-moderate boost. They are strong engines. Like already stated, get an EGT gauge and keep an eye on things. I suggest getting it properly tuned by a someone who specialises in diesels.
