looking at fitting the GT 2860 RS - 739548
also know as the disco potatoe garrett turbo
to my td42 patrol.
What do you guys think will it work?
im chasing around 120 - 140 kws at the wheels.
i have a modified pump to use already.
It is a ball bearing turbo and i have been quoted $1300 for Turbo alone

you wont do that easily. search for the dude at Lilydale that does work on here, he is a list member and has posted up recently on turbos and realistic power outputs etc.

yeah i would seriously talk to someone like andy at diesel tec
i'm thinking of getting my pump and turbo done its not simple process
in regards to the turbo price i think thats cheap.... but you pay for what u get.
also be careful as andy said its difficult to get a good pump setup its not a simple process of putting in the toyota rotor unit in to flow more fuel.

sounds good, but the pump was done at west end diesel, and was done at cost, so it has a fair bit of work done to it, its not just anaroid and thats it.
In regards to the turbo i have been told this will work really well, from a few diffrent people so im thinking about going ahead and using it.
It will cost me under $3000 to do the whole turbo set up with custom extractor tye manifold. i cant see why I wont get 120 at the wheels, as its a shit loads better than the TD05 on the DTS kit and people have been known to get 130 at wheels with pump mods.
Bigger than ther td05 mitsubishi turbo andf also roller bearing so will spool up quick, I really am thinking about doing it.
does anyone else know any one out there that has used this turbo.
