Hi, I have a 2000 4.2 GU non turbo motor I am putting into the GU wagon, the 3 litre is going, What turbo kit can I put onto the 4.2? is there a difference with power, boost and size of turbo kits? is the cooling system a part of the turbo kit?

How long is a piece of string. Whats your budget. General verdict is the non turbo black top motors are weaker and do not like much more than 15psi boost.
Second hand nissan, denco or dts turbo kit $1000-$2000 not a bad gain. I run a denco will sit on 100-110kmph happily most places although not the fastest getting there, over takes ok.
Ring United Fuel Injections $3000 for a turbo manifold and dump pipe, 3 inch exsaust $800ish, ARE intercooleror simular for $1600ish and a UFI injection pump $3000ish this set up will give you over 200hp maybe 300hp. If the engine lasts.
My planed option Kinugawa turbo $900, ebay $200 intercooler, 11mm pump off a turbo Gu lots of fucking about with the welder 150-180 hp. $2000-2500 and a fair bit of work.
