The TD42 is definitely strong enough for that sort of upgrade Kevin ....

If the motor is in good condition it will love you for it.

I'd do a compression test and go from there, remember Berrimah diesel turboed a GQ that had 500K on the clock.
just to prove if the engine was in good nick it could handle the extra induction its their daily /show car

Your reading into it to much. A very smart man has responded to your question on the other forum. It will handle what you want fine mate everyday of the week. There is also a member on here running 30psi through a post 93 (which is when the changes occurred) with no issues at all.
