True... It's imported from UAE... Locally only the V6 is available...
If I could, I would do the same here!
You leaving the V8 in stock form?

Yup... I'll throw in a second fuel filter, a catch can and a sealed alternator... The rest will stay untouched
That has the variable geometry turbo, (VNT), correct?

Honestly I'm not sure... Can someone comment about this?
Hello,
I understand the 1VD used on the 200 Series had the variable geometry turbo.
Australia spec 70 Series have a slightly different hood scoop to comply with both safety and emissions. They also have the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) to comply with emissions.
General markets 1VD engines have less emissions control equipment.
A catch can is only necessary if you have the EGR system.
An additional fuel filter is a must almost everywhere. Your injectors will appreciate it.

All 1VD-FTV engines have EGR systems.... they also all have VNT turbos according to my research as well. The best thing to do is remap the computer to turn off the EGR and not bother with a catch can but I suspect finding someone that can do that in Costa Rica might be difficult.
I believe the single turbo used on the 70 Series is physically larger than the dual ones used on the 200 Series.

Thanks for your input.
Excuse my ignorance, what's the down side of leaving the EGR as intended by the manufacturer?

Do you really want hot dirty exhaust soot being fed back into your nice new clean engine? Or just nice cool clean air from your intake/turbo?
I
t sends nasty oily air through your intercooler and intake manifold, therefore reducing cooling effect of the intercooler and the crud also will build up inside the intake manifold.Thanks for your input.

Yep. EGR combines exhaust soot with crankcase vapours, and creates a nasty combo that sticks on all the surfaces it passes through, building up over time. Almost like plaque on your arteries?
When I disassembled the intake on my 1kz at 100k kms I was shocked by the amount of buildup.

I'm not really in favor of removing emissions equipment. But a catch can removes the vapors...
