❓ FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Do I need a remap? | Yes. Even at 20 psi, the ECU must be recalibrated for correct fuelling, boost limits and boost monitoring.
|
| Will it work with stock injectors? | Up to ~280 HP/900 Nm, yes. Beyond that, high-flow injectors are recommended.
|
| Is a bigger intercooler compulsory? | Not for 28 psi daily/towing setups, but it helps lower EGTs on 300 HP+ builds. A better intercooler, is always help even on a standard Toyota Landcruiser 70 Series.
|
| How responsive is it? | This turbo will surprise you. Gated turbo’s have had a bad wrap over the years as people bolted on random sized options from this that and anything. This is a truely unique individually designed product to suit THIS exact engine. The answer is very responsive, we see peak torque at 1900rpm.
|
| Water-line blanking—any downsides? | None; the turbo’s oil circuit is sufficient, and removing hot coolant from the CHRA (turbo core) reduces overall engine heat-soak.
