Hi,i have an LC200 2015, 78K ,fully maintained. I heard another landcruiser today but it does not sound like mine.My turbos spool up at about 1.5K RPM.I have made it dual tip exhaust,nothing else done. I have attached a video for you reference :). Is it normal? I bought this from a friend about 1 year ago with about 60K on it.Shes running well.

Btw its a 4.4L twin turbo Diesel
 
Sounds to me pretty normal/ definitely better than my rust bucket with its 340kkm hehe.
Nah definitely nothing abnormal to hear but let‘s be honest, if you try to spot strange noises you are on the wrong end of the car.

But as your vehicle is kinda like brand new with that kilometers just give her frequently fresh oil and every now and them a new fuel filter. Better change the oil more often together with some cheaper oil since it doesn’t need to last 15-20k. I normally throw the cheapest engine oil for diesem I can find into my 200 every 8.000km snd call it a day as the friend and preowner did since he bought it in 2008.

A thing you can get is a obd dongle and install Techstream and maybe check once a year your injection offset wich will tell you a bit about the wear of the injectors and valves. Toyota says at plus/minus 3mm^3 you should take a look at them.
