I recently bought a 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado TX model.

It bears a 2900cc diesel engine and automatic transmission.

I daily experience a very rugged ride and no immediate pick up. When I recently drove my friend's, I could find lot of difference in pick up.

I doubt the turbo, if it present in my model or what should I check initially?

Previous owner may have put stiffer suspension in it?(springs etc) As for the turbo not working, open the bonnet with the engine running and rev the motor up and if you can't hear a high pitched whistle kick in at about 1700-2300 rpm then that could be an obvious sign that the turbo isn't working. Otherwise take it to Toyota or a diesel specialist to get the injectors,turbo etc checked out.
