    Ok cool thanks! I have just orded a crosscountry intercooler (will turn up next week) for it and have been ringing around for a turbo up grade! Some places say they will just re fin and rebuild my standed one for like 2500$ with dyno tune. Some say that the standeard as is is good enough. Some say to put a bigger turbo on and some say don't LOL? All I want is to have good power that comes on around 2000rpm or slightly lower.. I don't care for huge power as the GU is just our holiday 4wd and not a race car but as she sits shes 3.5t and We are looking at getting a camper trailer! What would people suggest be the best and most reliable way to go ?

    Crossy country are very good at giving misleading delivery times on their coolers.

    G'day guys, They rang me on Wednesday and said its all ready to ship out so I would expect to see it this week! Bloody hope so!!! So what size aftermarket do you suggest mate? Everyone I talk to say that a bigger turbo will give me more lag and less down low power....

    Cheers Lewy

    When did you order it though. Right not the wait is 6+ weeks, maybe longer for the scoop.
