hi peoples

hi guys, thought id introduce myself, snowys my name.

what a great forum yous have!
i have found the site very helpful as i have recently come from the dark side (previous landcruiser owner) and brought a gu 4.2 n/a patrol. i have been through the process of fitting a turbo setup myself for the first time and would like to try and contribute back (what little) i know.

for now the bus is basically how i got it, 2 inch lift, drawer system, bullbar, snorkel, aircompressor and reservoir, uhf ect, and of course the turbo which im wrapped with at the moment as the old girl was a bit of a slug

i plan on some 33s lift the front another 20 odd mm, finish my dual battery setup, and water to air intercooling. were heading north in july so hope to get it sorted by then but as alaways money is the factor at the moment haha

cheers guys :biggrin:

Welcome aboard, good to hear you saw the light and ditched the yota. I recently saw the light myself and could not be happier.

Enjoy all that's on offer here.

thanks guys. heres a few pics ot the turbo setup. if i was to ask questions about boost levels and egts etc where would i be best starting a thread? im having a hard time finding info onwhat boost levels i can run on a non turbo gu.. below are a few pics of the setup. ill post the same pics and info elswhere if you like as i reckon i did pretty good on the cost. in total the setup has only cost me $2250, and is all brand new quality parts via the internet. i still need to intercool it though. running the following,

ebay cast iron manifold with t3 flange, kinugawa TD05H 16G external wastegate turbo, kkr 38mm wastegate, 3 inch turbo back straight through, 4 inch stainless air intake, modified ford xr8 pursuit airbox, made all the exhaust and dump pipe myself. running 10 psi at the moment with boost starting at around 1200 rpm and max boost around 1800 rpm, one and a quarter turns on the pump and egts arent going above 475 deg. quite happy with performance so far
