Gday

The best thing for an N/A td42 is a snorkle and high quality air filter, wind up the fuel a bit, extractors and a 2.5 inch exhaust, get a professional to tune it. before I turboed mine I had that setup ind it was good for and extra 12-15hp, dosnt sound like much but is about an 15-18% increase in power, (with mine anyway) and I was getting 12L/100 @ 2.6 tonne full of fuel with me in it

Mate If your still thinking turbo later on.
check exhaust size as it may be different for turbo.
and has different engine pipe set up also.
could save a bit of money in the long run.
Cheers.
