Fit a 3" exhaust and a power chip, will easily make the power you want without straining the engine.

Thanks for the answer Tony,but the dieselpump cant take a chip according to the engine tuners here in South Africa.So should i fit a bigger turbo or a better intercooler,or maybe a newer dieselpump that can take chip?
You must have a different spec to what I'm used to, all the factory intercooled Patrols that we got in Australia had electronic injector pumps.
It's actually easier if you have the older mechanical pump anyway. Fit a 3" exhaust, up the boost to 14psi and get the injector pump wound up to match.

Most chips will get at least 20% power gain, add a big exhaust and tune it to suit and you will get much bigger gains.
