I bought a complete Denco kit from the trading post for $900 including boost compensator - kits is only 9 months old. Not sure if this normal pricing but I was happy to pay it.

if you can found the exhaust manifold from a 1HD-T .. you are done, all other things can be found separate and with good prices .. even a t3/t4 or a hole T4 if all depends on your taste and goals ..

I paid $900 for a complete AXT kit, including the engine pipe. It needed rebuilding as it was shagged, that cost $1250, but i wouldve done it anyway while it was off. But all the braided lines were re-usable, which is where i saved the $$$.

[jimbo jones]

I might look at a new kit from turbo glide

[jimbo jones]

the dts kits are an excellent kit they have everything you need to do the job, they are easy to fit if you are that way inclined. I have installed several of these kits when DTS was dynamic turbochargers. Now MTQ, same company different name, the kits were built and designed in Australia. If you are in queensland the bloke to speak to is Robert Biscupski(biscuit) in Rockhampton, he was involved in original setups and installation.

[jimbo jones]

there are some new kits on ebay at the moment

Yep Rob rebuilt my turbo for me. Fantastic job!!!! I gave him an old brown, oil stained turbo and what he gave me back i thought was a completed different one. He didnt overlook a single thing, even when sandblasting it. All the bolts had been replaced with new ones, all the fittings, clamps washers were all shiny new, and just over all a really top notch job.

i have recently just had a DTS turbo and intercooler fitted to my 105 series aswell as a 3" exhaust system, no complaints here. had turbo done for a week running standard exhaust system, was alittle disappointed with the power gain, got 3" exhaust system done (beaudesert exhausts) and was alot happier, about a month later had intercooler done and was stoked.

jimbo
yeh the cooler is a front mount, the kit was $2700 for the intercooler ( i didn't shop around so i don't know how much cheaper you can get them, was basically 3 or 4 weeks before xmas and i wanted it on before xmas, so just paid what the guys wanted) cost $500 to get it fitted and retuned.
so all up the intercooler was $3200 fitted, not exactly cheap, but i'm happy with how it all turned out. it's my work vehicle aswell, so i can atleast claim it back at tax time.

[jimbo jones]

its ok if you can claim it back on tax but I cant I might just go down the engine imports and buy a cooler of say somthing like a RX7 and get some pipe's bent up for it.
