Bigger Turbo?

Guys,

I do a lot of towing and am looking for more torque to haul the boat up hills. Not a big fan of performance chips as I had a DP Chip on mine and the increased rail pressure it generates seems to have fubar'd my fuel pressure relief valve.

Are there any common (simple bolt on) turbo replacements for the 1KD-FTV that achieve better torque for towing?

I just saw this tubine replacement on epray and was wondering if anyone had tried something like this before?

Thanks for the links, those results look impressive.

I was hoping for somewhere local (Sydney NSW), I had noticed that G-Turbo place in WA but its a bit far to go for fitting and warranty ;)

Also, would love to hear from anyone who has actually had one fitted if there's anyone on the forum that has.

Umm I think users Justautos, Swinny, Hilder91 and Monster Rides have all used a Gturbo of some spec.

Here is some reading

Thanks for the links rory, I've taken a good look through them and there's a lot of information to digest.

I can see what you now mean in your earlier post about it not being cheap though.

All fun and games mate. When funds permit I think I will be giving Graeme a call about a new turbo.
