3rz-fe turbo

Hi all
I've got a 99 model hilux with a 3rz-fe in it and want to turbo it. I've found a couple of kits in the states but by the time I get them here and pay all the taxes etc it may be cheaper to get a custom kit done locally. I figure with all the experience on this board there must be someone who can anyone recommend a good installer (around Syndey or central coast) to build a custom manifold and do the job? Or is there anyone to avoid! It probably would need aftermarket ECU (although one kit in the states doesn't use one - just a bigger fuel pump and larger injectors) and I've read about guys who supercharge these engines and are using the Unichip. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hey Mate,
I'd advise talking to Steve Griffith Austomotive over in Gosford - I took my Soarer there for its tune-up. He used to build racing MA70 and JZA80 Supras and knows his stuff!
Good to see some more coasties getting into the turbo scene too

There was one in Zoom mag a few issues back, take a look at the article and see if it gives you any ideas.

Thanks Dan I knew I'd get some good advice here 
Hey MrShin can you tell me what issue exactly? I don't have it and would have to try to get it on backorder.
Thanks

No worries!
I'd also advise going and talking to Erin in the spare parts department of Toyota in North Gosford - he knows his stuff and also recommended a few places to me while i was rebuilding my engine. If you become a member of Toymods they sometimes let you buy parts at trade price there as well

i've gotten trade price from everyone i've spoken to there *shrug*
Steve won't do the turbo job but will be able to recommend someone, as will Erin
I agree with Pro Built...

I would scan it, 'cept my scanner is THAT bad ($79 couple of years ago)
