Mine has an RB30et in it, from a VL, never had a power problem
Depending on price, i'd buy it, then put the complete Injection and Turbo set up off the VL on it, as long as you get the 4WD cheap, it will work out cheaper than a 4.2, and the extra advantage is there will be more power than a 4.2, with around the same Economy
People are right though, and off boost Tourque is not great, BUT a set of 43% Transfer reduction will fix any of those issues, even running 37's.
About the only differance is the Turbo\NA Head has differant Cam, some say the NA is better in a Boosted 4WD as the Tourqe comes on sooner.
