Hello, any update after 3 years?

Hello guys,

is there anyone in the forum who had installed intercooler set with stock Turbocharger on Hilux Vigo Commonrail (Non VNT)? Just wondering if there is any drop in car response or boost as the stock turbo is meant for flow without intercooler..

I'm thinking of installing one but not sure if the stock turbocharger needs to be upgraded as well Perhaps sifu-sifu can share experience and knowledge

thanks boss. How about remap? Is it necessary for installing intercooler? And got noticable difference in performance after installing?

tq for sharing, been almost a year and done ecu remap + install intercooler + boost controller on my 2009 vigo non vnt. Happy with it especially during hill climbing compared to before

since i've upped the stock turbo boost a bit via the boost controller, i usually get around 20 psi (read from my boost meter) but also 24 psi sometimes when i pressed the gas pedal too much especially when going uphill and overtaking (tamparuli - ranau road).

I have been advised by my tuner and also read on forums that it is not recommended to push the non vnt stock turbo over 19 psi but I quite enjoy the power when my boost meter shows 24 psi

Therefore, i am thinking of upgrading to a turbo that is capable of high boost for example dmax ihi turbo while keeping other components such as nozzle as they are now. It is also just because i don't want my turbo to blow :/ (The risk is there right?)

Is it possible? Do I limit the max boost of the new turbo using the boost controller or a retune?
