Hi. I am not sure if this is a problem someone has had before, but i am just looking for some advice. My 2010 1kd Hilux with 285000km runs great with no problems except i feel it could do with a bit more power. This is where i feel like there is a problem with the actual turbo. I get around 0.9 bar boost from my turbo at most times, but every now and again i get 1.3 bar and the car drives like i feel it should do. Pulls and has loads of torque. The only issue is that when it does get 1.3 bar i hear a light whine or whistle from the turbo. After a short drive it goes back to 0.9 bar and does not change again. I have borrowed and replaced the turbo actuator, Map sensor, Maf sensor and still exactly the same. Is it the turbo thats just worn and needs replacing or could it be the actuator? I would love it to stay with the 1.3 bar boost as its just drives so much better. I have a throttle controler fitted and disconnect it to check if it made any difference but still the same. Should i get the turbo checked or could it be something else. The fact that it whines when i get good boost make me think the turbo is worn and just old. Any ideas?

Re: Hilux D4D Boost Issue!
My guess would be the actuator - but it only a guess!
Maybe add some injector cleaner with the next fill-up and see if that makes a difference?

Morning
As far as I know the boost should be around 0.9bar for a hilux, if you are interested in servicing the turbo, I have a guy I know that can supply you with the internal turbo parts. This will cost about R1700 and the turbo will be as new, except if you have damage on the casing. Normally this is not the case.

Re: Hilux D4D Boost Issue!
Ok great thanks very much. Will check out all options. I really like the 1.3 boost but also worried it might damage the motor or turbo.

Re: Hilux D4D Boost Issue!
I can honestly say that keeping the Hilux as standard as possible will improve lifetime on the vehicle. It’s built for reliability, I have a Ford for going to work and back, much faster and more fuel economic, but I won’t take my family anywhere with it as there is a lot of issues.
I have done a mapping on my D4-D. Does improve a lot in power, but my fuel economy is about the same.
