Probably the best advice I can give you is read as much as you can on this subject and ask plenty of questions. Then make your decision take your time it can be very rewarding.

Go the other way with diffs mate. Throw some 4.6's in it with the 35's and youll be laughing.

lets hope i can get some might just save a lock it at same time

I just had my td42 into united fuel injection couple weeks ago.. Use it for work travelling around the state with a 2 tonne trailer on the back....

They put a new turbo... 3 inch exhaust and Dyno for 4600.

saving up 2700 more now to stick a new intercooler on to really crank it up!

Has 181hp now and 440nm... Drives like a different car! Worth every penny... When new intercooler goes on will be taking it to 600nm +

Once I have completed my engine conversion I will be looking into doing something like this. Want to get it all up and running first and then put a bigger turbo on it. But I was looking into the bigger scoops and using my fan from the RD28. For another 600 odd I can front mount instead. Changing the scoop and chucking a fan under the intercooler will minimise the heat soak, but by how much I dont know

what turbo did you get installed and did you change the intake?
