G day guys, names Scott am a very keen 4wder. Recently sold my px2 Ford Ranger and purchased a 98 gu 2.8td. Got it cheap as had an inlet and exhaust manifold leak and also the number 1 injector playing up. Has some fruit on it, Arb front bar, rear bar and rock sliders. Arb lockers front and rear, 4 inch lift etc etc. 210,000kms for only 6k.
Got her running mint now with new injectors ( sourced from gumtree $300 wooo).

My question to you all is it worth upgrading the turbo and intercooler? If so what bolt ons are available? Just want to reduce the current lag and gain a bit more power, obviously not chasing massive gains just an improvement but seeing whether to bother or not.

Cheers
