    My turboed NA 4.2 GU

    so this is my DX as i bought it

    DTS turbo kit - non intercooled
    3" exhaust
    snorkel
    2" ironman lift
    duel batteries
    31" duelers


    im pretty novice when it comes to cars (especially diesels!!) so after reading a few threads about adding a turbo to the NA motor i was becoming paranoid about blowing the NA motor, so i decided first on the list was boost and pyro gauges. once installed i headed up princes hwy to see what she would do!! at 100ks up a steep hill its maxing out at 12psi and nearly hitting 500c on the pyro.

    since then i have bought a set of 35" centipedes, so would expect EGTs be even higher now

    with those temps and the now bigger wheels, im pretty sure i need to intercool the beast to give it a better life! just trying to find out how to go about it, any input is appreciated, cheers!!
