The 6x6 perentie that the SAS guys are equipped with are turbo.

Is this why you just can't buy a factory built one. Maybe you could get a wreck from UK/OZ and do a transplant.   Brian Dickens (Bri) Senior Member Username: Bri Post Number: 688 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 03:09 am:    Yeah, but this "kit" is pretty cool and they are talking CA $$$.   dagwood (Daggoneit) New Member Username: Daggoneit Post Number: 4 Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 11:16 am:    You were looking for: eastcoastrover.com Notice the past tense regarding TDi conversions.   Jeremy Katka (Jkatka) Senior Member Username: Jkatka Post Number: 271 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 11:21 pm:    There was a person in Colorado that did the HS28l conversion to his 97 disco. Do a search in the archives you might be able to find something there. The website he put up with pictures of it is no longer up.

Its a shame his website went away as it would have been a great resource for the DIY'er who wanted to follow his lead. His remarks made it sound work intensive but straightforward, and he seemed pleased with the end result. r- Ray
