I had a DTS turbo kit fitted to my '97 MK 4M40 triton, the power increase was great but the already s&#thouse fuel economy remained. I noticed a bit of oil smoke after fitting that did not exist before fitting but it has not worsened. The kit included a larger diameter exhaust system
Worthwhile in my opinion.

Have a look at their website ( http://www.dynamicturbo.com.au/ ) , I had mine fitted in Ballarat but I'm sure that they have many agents. It was fitted at 70,000 and I've done 100,000KM since. I can't remember what I paid, a few grand i guess.

Thing to be careful of when adding turbo to non-turbo engine is that fuel pump needs adjusting to provide additional fuel for turbo to work. often this is a compromise as excess fuel is then provided when "off boost" and black smoke and inceased fuel consumption results. The device to fix this is called an aneroid and it uses turbo boost pressure to increase fuel as required. An aneroid can be be a bit expensive and hard or imposossible to fit to some existing injection pumps. Worth the money though as motor is looked after much better.
