Hi everyone!
It’s been a while between posts (again) but I’m looking for some advice / info / clarification...
Can’t remember if I posted about it on here but a couple of years ago now I managed to melt some pistons in my patrol. I got it rebuilt and at the same time (based on some advice from a friend) I got a 12mm pump upgrade with a fuel compensator... I also currently have the MTQ turbo kit which comes with a TD05 turbo.
Long story short I want to give the patrol a bit of a birthday and spoke with one of the MTQ guys at the 4x4 show in Melbourne and he told me that the TD05 was way too small for a 12mm pump and would be at its limits before anything useful... he suggested I may need to look at one of the Garrett turbos they sell...
This may explain why the car dumps diesel hardcore when I take off...
So my questions are-
* should I upgrade? Or is he giving me bad advice?
* if so what is the easiest upgrade? Garrett? Will it work with the rest of the kit I already have?
* what else should I look at or consider?
Also thinking about getting an inter cooler (thinking cross country) so I guess this is worth bearing in mind...
Sorry, I know I’ve rambled a bit but hopefully some of you smart folk can make sense of it and give me some advice...
