If it's a factory turbo, check if it has the boost compensator on the back of the IP. If it does, blow down the line and check it's still air-tight.

Only the early engines have boost compensators.

It is an ex-truck 4BD1T AFAIK so it may have.

its an ex truck engine. with the compensator and performs exactly as is should.

its in better nick than some of the engines in the perenties on amberly

needs a very minor service to sort out the valve clearances and some hose rubbing issues and theres the slightest bit of chatter on the front bearing plate in the lt95. Its probabley only got 20 maybe 25 years of use in it as a touring vehicle the overdrive will give up first but excluding that it'll probabley make 1M Km with good servicing.

The best thing I did with mine (Lokka's idea) was give it a decent service and put a fuel conditioner through the system, over a few tanks worth. It cleaned out a lot of crap and gave me a bit more umph

Didn't happen without PICS.
