Hi All.
I have finally upgraded (but not brought myself to part with) my turbo'd HJ60-with a 1HZ powered 5 speed 105 series. Now I put a CT-12 Turbo on my old 2H (that had well over 300 on it at the time) and did over 200,000km without any issue-I replaced it with a low mileage 12H-T only because I got the motor very cheaply in a rusty (NZ) truck... Now I am keen to turbo the 1HZ. Due to lack of time, and availability of kits, I am keen to buy a kit-just wondering what peoples actual experience of the kits are?-and real (not hypothetical second hand read it on a forum and regurgitated) advice on how long these conversions last My truck has done 280,000km, with a good service history, and no signs of issue. I do a little towing, a lot of highway driving, and a lot of medium off roading/farm paddocks etc.
I liked the look of the kit offered by HP Diesels

I have emailed Dave Mitchell of HP Diesels-who recommends this Kit for my truck-but despite my mentioning the burned piston story/ok at 300ish km/should I add an EGT gauge question several times, the answers are only ever about price/freight etc, and he's omitted any answer to these parts of my questions-which concerns me.
I dont need to maximise boost and get crazy performance-but do want a reliable manual 100series. Manual in NZ means 1HZ.
Has anyone used the HP Diesel Kit?,
