Bolting a turbo kit onto a Hilux 5L motor can lead to several issues, including potential engine damage due to increased stress on internal components not designed for forced induction. Additionally, the factory fuel system may not provide adequate fuel pressure or delivery, risking lean conditions and detonation. Proper tuning is crucial; without it, you could experience poor performance or even catastrophic failure. Lastly, there may be challenges with fitting the turbo system within the limited space of the engine bay and ensuring reliable cooling for the engine.
no the hilux didnt have a turbo option till around 2002 i think
Yes, it is only the pistons that are different to provide a different compression ratio (higher in the NA). Be careful when bolting turbos to an NA motor.

Yes, although there's a little more to it than just bolting a turbo in.
GST ECU is designed for turbo. you will have problems with ECU, but nothing that can't be resolved. It's a pain, but it can be done with minor motor mount mods.
V6 turbo is better
KUN25R has the 2.5 litre turbo diesel 2KD-FTV engine KUN26R has the 3.0 litre turbo diesel 1KD-FTV engine
NO it's not a turbo, it has a 222horsepower DOHC motor.
You dont to have to get a bigger exaust ever. But if you want to get the most benifit, get a larger exaust pipe system
