hey mate if your chasing a full kit set up straight off a turbo 2.8 hilux my next door neighbor has one he is selling in townsville. The guy is broke after his engine blew up twice in 12 months and he is putting my old lux engine in after i had the V8 conversion done in mine. let me know if you wanna pursue it any further as i can get you the full kit so you just gotta fit and get the fuel wound up a bit.

There is a few things to be modified, like the exhaust, oil and water supply for the turbo, oil drain back to sump, waste gate activation, intake manifold elbow, cross pipes and possibly a couple of other things as stated above.

It makes the Hilux 2.8 diesel a lot better.

Just beware 2.8s are common for snapping cranks.Wouldn't hurt to get your crank ground new bearings etc. as it leaves a nice hole in the side of the block when it goes. Mine even ripped the starter off and it wasn't even turboed! Do A Search it would be worth your while!
