My 4x4 is out of warranty and apart for a 2inch suspensionl lift and 2 inch body lift and 33's, I think I need more power. I need to know what turbo do they run and will a new dump pipe from the turbo increase power and torque.

if it is a 4m40 motor, then my pajero owners manual states they run a TD04 (garret?) turbo.
by all accounts, going to a larger free flowing exhaust is a worthwhile mod. also fit a boost gauge and check your boost level.
mine is only pushing 8psi, when it should be approx 12-14psi. you can rectify this by using a manual boost compensator valve to up the boost pressure to factory (or higher ??) spec. i would then get it on a rolling road and get the pump timming etc set up. thats my plan anyway, just gotta wait for the exhaust to cark it
hope this helps

You are correct the motors are the same, but cant find any info to see if they are the same turbo's. Last night we fabricated a new dump and we will be fitting it today. We checked the boost last night and it is only running 6psi, which is why I think it is a slug, so we up this today
Will let you know later today how the dumo pipe work.
Cheers
