Stock on the Td27t was, for my example at least, a Garrett tb25. 0.48 A/R on the compressor and dunno, believe 0.64 on the hot side. I was tossing up a few different options because 1) original turbos are bloody expensive (about Au $900 for a mamba copy and $2000 for a genuine Garrett. 2)...

Nope. The intake manifolds are different on the qd32 to td27, as is all the plumbing hanging off the intake side (like the power steering lines). It can be done, but most likely you either need custom plumbing made up between turbo and intake, keeping your standard intake. That's what i have done.

Since i need to buy a new turbo anyway, would there be much difference in where the boost comes in between a 0.48 A/R and a 0.60 A/R? I know the boost will kick in later, but how much difference?

+1 to this. If you can get an early terrano 1 you can get the injector pump with compensator. Will save you the cost of getting a compensator added and will make tuning easier.

Denco sell a brand new one for about $400. Might be cheaper than getting one custom made. And may be easier to work on than the td27 one on a qd32. God knows it couldn't be much worse.

I have installed a td27 turbo on the QD32 navara motor. Have had some issues, even after the turbo was rebuilt. Need some advice on two things. 1) Turbo. Looking to buy a new turbo that was used on the Rd28 and some overseas Td27's. Anyone forsee issues with this? It's still a TB25 with the...

Geolander are really good directional mt's but a lot of people don't want directional in offroad situations. Wear rate is well below average but the best wet road muddies I have ever used. Hankook muds are not bad on wet roads either.

Ko2 have a very poor reputation for sidewall staking. I'd go the General Grabber. Or should that be "Commander-in-chief" Grabber now?

I got told (by my parents who live there) that NO car will pass a RWC without a new windscreen. Their car has a perfect windscreen and they were told they STILL have to replace it. This is from the Ford dealer who serviced it its entire life and just sold them a new Territory. I'm worried what...

Sounds like the "triple pressure switch". I think it cannot be removed/replaced without a/c gas escaping. I need to replace mine after my recent trip, so will speaking to an auto elec tomorrow about it.

My experience has been no-one has noticed the slight difference of curvature between the tailgate and the tub sides unless you point it out. Looks heaps better. Might be enough to cause dust ingress though, although the majority of that will come from the unsealed bottom between the tailgate...
