Have a search on Ebay you may even find a change over IC.
No Idea on quality of this link so look around eh.
Thats about the going price too

May I humbly suggest you find out what is wrong before you go too much further...

Leaky 'Cooler etc will mean poor boost... totally agree with that but it won't cause some of your symptoms.
It also won't cause a huge loss in power unless the leaks are pretty damn big
Could be injectors, could be lots of things but a Chipped, Mod'd Di should still have a reasonable amount of grunt

I'd get a professional or someone who really knows the ZD30 to have a good look before I started replaing Coolers and doing NADS

Just my opinion and agree with the other posts if you have a healthy engine to start with...

The steep hills you struggled on... what other trucks were out there and what gears etc were they using?
How many K's on the vehicle?
Is it blowing much smoke esp under full welly?

No other trucks on the road, it was just a standard road. Didn't notice any smoke, there is none startup either. I plan on getting it looked at first obviously , does anyone know of any good mechanics north of brissy with knowlege of zd30 ?

Crap boost will normally blow a fair bit of soot etc from overfuelling esp if an engine is chipped

I noticed in your intro you plan on doing some serious touring.
An ECU software app or an EGT and Boost gauge will be very handy.

Anyhow, I'll butt out and let the Qld'rs steer you towards a mech or two

Re pics above - needs replaceing, preferably with a fully welded one. Probably not your performance problem though. Don't know where the best buy would be in Qld though. You can always go a replacement spec or use it as an excuse to upgrade to a higher spec unit. Depends on your pocket and future modification plans I guess.

Thanks 4bye4, from research i kind of figured that the intercooler is not the main problem, something has caused it too leak oil, like over boosting or something? Im going to give the maf sensor a clean tonight and disconnect the battery to see if that makes a difference at all. Do you think the roo systems chip could be causing any problems ?

But i really would like to take it to someone in Brisbane with knowlege of these cars, i dont want to take it to just any mechanic
