Hello, I have a HDJ 80 4.2 l 24v and I would like suggestions for update power ; Is a variable geometry turbo charger a good option ? which brand ?

Welcome Pedro,

Perhaps a 6.5 L L539 V12 would give a little more power, not sure if it's got VG Turbo or not.

Hay, seriously, don't forget to post some pictures of your 80.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply and advice, however my idea was not change of engine since this means big costs, my idea was more focus on other solutions as different turbos and intercooler !

Turbo and intercooler would be good.

In order for best results
1. Uprated turbocharger
2. intercooler
3. tuning fuel pump
4. 3-inch exhaust system

I recently upgraded my turbo to a 1HD_FTE Chinese and modded it to fit on the air filter housing.
