Hey,

I want to turbo my 100 series Landcruiser with a 1HZ 4.2L diesel engine.
Just want something mild, saw this kit on GCG which looks good:
https://gcg.com.au/diesel-performance/diesel-2/turbocharger-upgrades-kits/toyota-landcruiser-100-105-series-1hz-turbo-kit-intercooled-detail
But I am after a good shop to install it. Live in Queens Park, but can travel.

Please let me know what you suggest.

Gturbo kit + PDP Intercooler kit + Tune will see you spending about 6k, you'll have the best of the business but you'll still have a 1HZ

UFI, G-turbo and reaper all have proven form with mech injection diesels. PDP can be a little dear
Gturbo had a bad batch of turbos not long ago so worth doing some research into that.

Personally I'd be going to either reaper or united depending who is closer.
That kit is pretty average imo too. I'd be looking for a proper turbo manifold, 3in exhaust and look at going fmic. Clutch should also be a consideration

Another thing to keep in mind is that 1hz are a bit notorious for bending piston rods after about 15psi so worth looking into
