hi all
i have researched quite a lot, and i have to say that i am now more confused on the subject of turbos than i was before i started.
i need it broken down into basic things, and info about it.
i want to turbo my td42, about 280000 on the clock, and to my knowledge, all the engine is in good order. i want to make the rite decision first, and will last.
now, im only chasing about 12psi (i dont need anything extreme, just wanna tow the camper better and improve economy)
so, what do i need? my understanding is
but i have no idea about things like .64 hot side, what is that? i have seen .80 somewhere as well. and whats better, low-mount or hi-mount? im after a bit of boost low in the range, and still at highway, so i have some go to overtake when needed.
there are many more questions, but i cant think of them at the moment, as this has done my head in.
cheers

so, what do i need? my understanding is
- ball bearing turbo is a must
- water and oil cooled is a must
- will have a 3" dump and exhaust (i read somewhere about a 3" flange so there is no adapter flange thingo to make it a true 3" system)
