Hi, Guys new to this forum and dont know if this is the right place to post this subject.

What coldtaco said ^^

My two cents: I've heard many stories of turboing 1HZ's in the 105's not ending well. Usually overheating and cracked heads. Sometimes crack pistons. Most attribute this to poor tuning, but the reality is IDI motors are not well suited to turboing - especially if they're worked hard. So make sure you budget for more than just a turbo setup alone. Look at intercooling and maybe some other cooling upgrades also. Ideally swapping in a 1HDT/1HDFT/1HDFTE would be the way to go.

Regarding specific turbos - maybe contact Gturbo?

I ran a 1hz but in a 75, had the full dts kit on it. I brought it like it but i would personally go a gturbo and pdi intercooler. 22psi is gunna wake the old girl up, i was running 12. My 1hz had over 300,000kms turbo'ed so i reckon that they are fine, so long as the tune is done properly and by someone who knows what they are doing. Particularly with a 1hz. Cheers

The 105 1HZ is apparently weaker than the older 1HZ like you would have had in your HZJ75? I've heard the older 1HZ's take turbo better than the new ones....but don't have any personal experience with it.

Yep, look after it and it'll look after you. I would get a quality intercooler though, for not much price difference good intercooler really helps.

I don't know that so many people would run gturbos if they were rubbish. As far as i am concerned, they make a very good turbo, and one that will spool much faster and lower in the rpm range than most other turbos.

Thanks for your help mate much appreciated yeh like i said thats what he told me but in saying that this guy is united fuel injection all the way.... im not real keen on forking out $2150.00 just for the turbo and i dont know how quick they spool up although i know they are quality products.
