Hey all.
After recent trips up the beach, I have decided that in the next 4 or so months I will do a power upgrade of some sort to my car. I want to stick with diesel. Just after a few ideas...
I am thinking maybe 2.8L diesel with Supercharger........
What do you think? Any ideas?

Well, not sure.. I know there are limitations on the power I can expect from a 4 cylinder Diesel. Just want to be able to stay in the same gears for longer. I am not after speed at all. There are a lot of time where going up short steep hills, where normally you could do it in first high, I need to go to 2nd low......

why not just turbo your existing motor,
TEHN further down the track if you still want more, you can buy the bigger motor, and just bolt your turbo onto it, cheaper, easier, and less work, turbo the machine, they come up in the paper every other week
