hiluxes are NOT built as powerhouses.  If you want power, buy a Nissan-they have bigger engines, and their own problems.

Improving performance by extra charge pressure & flow would be marginal at best, unless you want to put your motor at risk of failure.   Let well enough alone, and stop wasting money is my advice.  Reconditioning a turbo is not hard, there would be several websites with detailed info and helpful people.   Don't forget to change your injector seals, or you may block up your oil pickup screen in the sump.   A known problem in 05-07 diesel models AFAIR.
