I am in a dilemma regarding towing. I am towing a 2000kg van with no turbo. I don't care how long it takes me to get anywhere so I am quite happy to change down to 2nd gear to climb some hills on the highway where a turbo Prado towing the same weight can go past me doing 80kmh. If i was the only vehicle on the road I would not be writing this post but the only issue I have is the following traffic having to slow so much behind me. Sometimes in the twisty roads where there is no good spots to pull over I sometimes see 20 cars and trucks behind me before I can stop to let them through. When I first bought this car in 2009 I never thought I would have been a caravan owner.

I know about EGTs and the 1HZ is a bit weak for a big boost turbo but how many people out there have fitted after market turbos to pull vans on these 1HZ engines and are maybe getting away with no damage because of cautious boosts?

I think I would be happy just improving this cars power by 10 or 15%.
