I am in touch with a guy in Tamworth who has a GQ Optimiser conversion, originally n/a, then he turbo'd it locally. He has a monster top mount intercooler setup. I can get the name of the guys who...

Thanks for the in depth response, I know the feeling of watching gauges on a long trip, having just returned from a 4 month trip myself.

Hi all re exhaust turbine housing change to.63 - much better performance on the highway (since these engines rarely rev past 3000 there is no real problem with flow) Recent trip from NSW South...
