Turbo installation

[8670series]

Hello, my name is Jason and I'm looking to become a member and want to see if anyone has recommendations for shops to install turboglide kit on 3b diesel in Albuquerque or surrounding area. The vehicle is a 1986 BJ73. Thanks!

@barrys, you or @DanS HJ-45 have any ideas?

I would suggest you contact ToyoMasters, Chris. 505-890-8696 He does know Toyotas. If he can't do that work, he may know someone who can.

That’s a nice looking rig! Do you know what country it’s from? How many miles/kms? Manual 5-speed?

I've used Chris for the past 10 years for other toyotas I've owned, but he said he wasn't very familiar with the diesels. Not sure if he would be up for installing. Thanks for the response

I believe @emoto installed this kit on his 3B so he might have some insight. The kit looks to be complete and well designed, from what I recall.

I believe so, but need Mauser to confirm

Yup. Chris is probably the best diesel mechanic around. They are extremely busy now.
