There's so much talk of different turbo's and some being better than others,I would like to hear from peoples first hand experience of a good reliable set up.
Cheers Eric.

The cheapest and easiest, you can slot garrett T25/T28 mounting holes so they'll fit your IHI manifold. I'm running this setup.

Then you've only got the dump pipe and air side to worry about.

Hmm. I have a re-built one of these sitting under the work bench in my shed. Bush bearing version. I'm still waiting on a roadworthy before I can pick up my Isuzu, but I might look into the conversion.
