Well It's been over a month and a half since I updated this but I have some good news!
Extended the home loan for this one but i just could not say no to the price I got this for.
Bluey is getting turbo'd very very soon!
I manage to find a factory turbo off 2001 TD42T and also managed to get the manifold off him as well.
It should arrive by tomorrow or Thursday and I am super excited!!!!
I'm going to check out Tony's helpful DIY thread. More then happy to fit it myself but a little skeptical in drilling holes in the block but we'll see how we go anyway.
I'm just after the 3" exhaust with the boost and pyro and then Bluey will be beefed up for action!!!
Stay tuned!
Might have to fly Tony down for an all expense trip to sunny Melbourne....LMAO
The truck should have some grunt soon mate!!!
Just a quick one....Who's let the cat out of the bag?...Everyone is putting GU parts into their GQ's..Whats going on. Must be telling you something,hey!....ROFLMAO

As mentioned before, there are "some" good bits out of the GU that need to be bought over to the GQ's to create the ultimate beast...LMAO
Some of the photos turned out poor so let me know if you need any better shots mate.
I think I need the following...
T for water feed at theromo housing
Braided hose for water feed and connections
T for water drain
braided hose for water drain and connections
Braided hose for oil feed and connections
Weld drian pipe to sump. Use excess pipe on original oil drain and plug for now
Hose to suit oil drain
Hose to join compressor and wastegate.
block pcv holes
3" exhaust with dump pipe, weld on pyro fitting and no muffler - PURCHASING NEXT WEEK
pyro and boost guage get a pyro gauge with a hose clamp style thermocouple - GETTING SOON
air filter
Missing clip for air filter housing
rubber hose and clamps from turbo to cross over pipe connection
Gasket from turbo to dump pipe
New manifold gaskets - I'm not overly keen on the condition of these ones.
Crikey mate!! I never knew fitting a turbo was that complicated!!! I know stuff all about mechanical anyway, but full power to you for having a lash - it'll get sorted no doubt and can't wait to see it finished (and hear it on a video!! lol)
