Hey guys,
I have a 93 TD42 NA GQ with 419k on the clock.
Do you think the motor will be able to be turbo-ed this late in its life?

She's pretty tough mate. i did mine well into the 300s. If your concerned you could get a compression test done to confirm engine condition....But.....HELL YEAH!! They love it. I think that they get an easier life once a turbo is fitted mate, everything is done easier. No More wringing its neck.

Get a comp test done if in doubt.

Cheers

I have really noticed the difference between my mates TD42T and my TD42 NA.
It is soooo slugish :(
Can't wait to get it turbo-ed :D
