We puchased a TURBO GLIDE unit for our 1993 DX 4.2 Nissan Patrol in October 2005. We had the unit sent up to us in Mackay, Qld. and had it fitted locally. It was installed easily, all fitting instructions were supplied with the unit and phone support was available. The system is well designed and fits neatly onto the engine.

A. The public deals direct with the manufacturer.

After many phone calls and visits to various (so called) diesel turbo experts, it soon became obvious to me that Turbo-Glide were one of a very few that seemed to actually know what they were talking about...  I am more than happy with the end result.
