How to do it.
The legality of it
The only company that specialises in it.

But, any local welder should be able to do it. So, to explain use the diagrams in the first link. - Hope that's helped :) 8)

next on the agenda is an intercooloer and dumpvalve.... thinking about welding a a bit on to the back on the intercooler to hold dry ice so the air thatis going into the engine will be around -70degrees that would add some power!! lol

dude...trying to get top end speed out of a diesel is a silly idea! Are you gonna get another engine??

Just get a cheap petty one and chuck that in for now if you're intent on getting a bigger derv engine. :)
