CCT Stage 1 Hi-Flow Billet Turbo Upgrade for Toyota Landcruiser Prado KDJ120 KDJ150 1KD-FTV 3.0L (17201-30160)

1. Will this turbo fit my specific year and model of Prado (KDJ120 / KDJ150)?
Yes, absolutely. This turbocharger is designed as a 100% direct fit replacement for all Toyota Landcruiser Prado 120 and 150 series models fitted with the 1KD-FTV 3.0L engine from 2005 to 2015 (including chassis codes KDJ120R and KDJ150R).

2. Do I need a custom ECU tune or remap after installing this turbo?
No, a custom tune or remap is not required. This CCT turbo is engineered as an "OEM Plus" upgrade, meaning it runs perfectly, safely, and efficiently on your vehicle's standard factory ECU settings. However, if you decide to get a custom tune down the track, this high-flow design is ready to support your performance goals.

3. What makes the CCT 9-blade turbine wheel better than the original Toyota 11-blade wheel?
The original Toyota 11-blade turbine wheel is notorious for cracking and chipping under high thermal stress under load. Our upgraded **9-blade Inconel 713C turbine wheel** features thicker, heavier-duty aerodynamic blades. This design significantly reduces backpressure, lowers Exhaust Gas Temperatures (EGTs), and completely resolves the common OEM chipping issue forever.

4. Will this turbo improve my towing performance and reduce turbo lag?
Yes! Thanks to the ultra-lightweight **CNC-machined Forged MFS Billet Compressor Wheel**, this turbocharger spools up significantly faster than standard cast-wheel turbos. It delivers immediate, responsive low-end towing torque, allowing you to pull your caravan, camper, or heavy off-road loads uphill with effortless ease.

5. What is the maximum safe boost pressure this upgrade can handle?
Designed with our heavy-duty thrust bearing system, this turbocharger is structurally capable of safely and reliably sustaining increased boost pressure. For this 1KD engine, CCT Stage 1's maximum boost pressure is 21 PSI, Stage 1 Plus is 24 PSI, and Stage 2 is 24 PSI (standard factory boost is only ~12-13 PSI) under continuous heavy load, without compromising overall bearing longevity.

6. Does it come with a new electronic stepper motor actuator, or do I reuse my old one?
This turbocharger comes **100% complete with a brand new, pre-calibrated stepper-motor electronic actuator** pre-installed. It is ready to bolt on straight out of the box with no manual alignment, calibration, or electronic learning required.

7. Is a gasket kit included in the box?
Yes, this turbo comes with a free set of gaskets as photo shows.

8. Do I really need to replace my turbo oil feed line at the same time?
We **highly recommend** replacing your oil feed line. Over time, high EGTs cause carbon deposits (oil sludge) to restrict the factory feed line. Installing a new turbocharger with a restricted old line will starve the bearings of lubrication, causing premature failure. A new oil feed line is cheap insurance for your investment.

9. Can I run this high-flow turbo with my standard factory exhaust?
Yes, it is 100% compatible with your standard factory exhaust system. However, upgrading to a 3-inch performance exhaust in the future will further reduce exhaust backpressure, lower EGTs, and optimize the airflow efficiency of this high-flow turbocharger.

10. Where is this turbo built, and what kind of warranty support do I get?
Every single CCT turbocharger is assembled, high-speed VSR balanced, and flow-calibrated in-house in **Melbourne, Australia**. We back our local build quality with an industry-leading, hassle-free **24-Month Australian Replacement Warranty** and direct technical support from our Victoria-based team.
