- Hi,
- I am interested in hearing peoples experiences with aftermarket turbo
- kits for diesel engines.
-
- In particular the engine in question is a Toyota 2.8 litre diesel
- (Toyota Engine model 3L)
-
- A local company offers a kit for AUST$3000 that claims 45%-50% increase
- in power and 50%-55% increase in torque. They offer a 12 month 20000 Km
- waranty and claim that Toyota's new vehicle warranty is not affected.
- Toyota also claims this to be true (including under Extra Care warrenty),
- however Toyota also sais that they are not responsible for the kit itself
- or damage to engine components _directly_ caused by the kit.
-
- Thanks in advance.
