I found older ones for like 5k, but I can't do anything until the Titan is sold.

Take a very close look at the birfield joints on any older Disco you inspect. I worked for a Toyota dealer a while back and those joints were a weak spot on older pickups and Land Cruisers. They require periodic maintenance and can be problematic if the former owner wasn't aware of that. You also have to keep an eye out for a blown inner axle shaft seal, as leaking gear oil can get into the birf and wash out all of the grease leaving you with a dry joint.

Who around our area is F/I? I am about to order my TT kit and I was hoping I could find someone to install it for me before i get back from deployment, car show up in ohio the week i get back so no time to install after i get back by myself. I really dont want to pay a shop tons of money to do it.

And, what is the average for a body kit install/paint job in our area? For a good one, and where to get it?

Thanks guys!

What Supporting mods do you have?
Who's going to tune it?

+1 you cant just install a turbo kit on these motors and call it a day...you need a lot more than a turbo kit, and the closest tuners for these motors are in atl, md or tn. To install a turbo the easiest way is to pull the motor.

Greddy 20G TT Kit.

HKS Catback exhaust w/ Megan TP's

UTEC eManage
Walboro 255lph Fuel Pump
DW 1000cc Injectors
Turbo XS External Map Sensor
Turbo XS Remote Map Selector (kill switch)
Imperial Defi Gauges (Boost/WaterTemp/OilPressure)w/Control Unit
Water Temp Adapter for sensor
Greddy Turbo Timer -
HKS Blow Off Valve (already welded on pipe)
Greddy Breather tank

Kit was for sale on the forums here i picked it up.

I understand that i cant just slap on a turbo, my 240 is F/I.

I cannot build the motor out of the car, due to this being my DD and i'm deployed right now, so thats not an option.

Hoping someone down here can do the kit for me, just the install run low boost and keep 660 injectors on it until I move to AZ where I will have the car towed behind the moving truck and get it tuned out there.

I also plan on picking up before July Stage 3 BC Cams, Valve springs/retainers, Pistons/rods, new studs, and either get my cosworth dual plenum back or go with the Kinetix SSV

How far is the tune shop in MD? and how expensive is a tune on these motors? In Ohio, i know people with these capabilities but since im down in VA for the military, I can't use them.

fu<K AAM comp.

I paid $700 for my tune, but I have a standalone, it would be cheaper since you have a piggyback.

Anyway you set-up is almost the same as mine. I got you if you need a installer.

Ouch 700, thats pricey, but neccesary lol... Will the intercooler and piping fit with my stock bumper? I have a GReddy aftermarket kit, but I would rather wait to get it installed until next summer.

Where did you get yours tuned? And will my car still drive fine without a tune after install? PM me price on install please and I will get with my wife and setup a time with you for it to happen.

Thanks again City!

BTW: You installed my TP's and Exhaust and it sounds amazing

If you have the GReddy duel inlet intercooler, it will work the stock bumper. I got my tuned at Forged Performace down in the ATL.

You can drive the car with the stock injectors fine, and swap them went to go to the tuner.

Yeah its the GReddy dual inlet. Awesome.

Well I am now purchasing the Osiris - Tuner package and going to suffice on an eTune with the 1000cc injectors and not really run my motor hard since I only have a few months left in VA. Tow it to AZ and get it tuned out there by pro's.

Can you PM me price on install and how long it will take? My wife cant be without the car during the weekdays.
