If you’re the proud owner of a VDJ70 Land Cruiser – any in the beloved 70 Series range – and you’re looking for ways to improve its performance, then you should definitely consider upgrading the turbocharger.
A turbo upgrade can offer a number of significant benefits, such as increased power and torque, better airflow to the engine, and even improved towing capacity. Here at Just Autos, we’re experts in diesel performance enhancement for the Toyota Land Cruiser platform, and we offer a range of turbo upgrades for the models in the 70 Series range (VDJ79/78/76) that will suit your needs and budget.
So, if you’re looking to take your Land Cruiser’s performance to the next level, find out why an upgraded turbo might be just what your LC needs.
Top Reasons to Upgrade Your 70 Series Land Cruiser’s Turbo
As any Toyota LC owner knows, these engines are pretty formidable to start off with. Straight from the factory, they offer their owners significant power and torque, great towing capabilities, and unparalleled driving comfort. But even these durable diesel engines can do better – and an upgraded turbo might be just the place to start!
Here are some of the top reasons to consider upgrading your 70 Series Land Cruiser’s turbo:
Increased Power and Torque
One of the main reasons to upgrade your Land Cruiser’s turbo is for the increase in power and torque that it can provide. With an upgraded turbo, you can expect a significant boost in both power and torque, making for a more responsive and enjoyable driving experience.
Better Airflow to the Engine
Another benefit of upgrading your 70 Series Land Cruiser’s turbo is that it can improve airflow to the engine. This, in turn, can lead to better combustion, increased efficiency, and improved overall performance.

Improved Towing Capacity
If you often find yourself using your 70 Series Land Cruiser for heavy-duty tasks like towing or off-roading, then an upgraded turbo can make a world of difference. With an upgraded turbo, you can expect improved towing capacity, making those tough jobs just a little bit easier.
As avid towing and touring enthusiasts ourselves, Just Autos offer 70 Series owners premium turbo upgrades designed for enhancing the towing experience and improving just how well your LC hauls loads.

If you’re interested in upgrading your 70 Series Land Cruiser’s turbo, or if you have any questions about our turbo upgrades, we encourage you to get in touch with us today. We partner with some of the best aftermarket performance brands, like G Turbo, and offer bolt-on upgrades designed to maximise your LC’s performance.
The turbos we offer come from G Turbo – specifically, the G320 and G350 turbo options, which are the most common sizes used for touring applications. We even do the G400 – G500 for diesel performance enthusiasts who just want a little more from their Land Cruiser.
Just Autos is a huge advocate for the VNT-style turbochargers, which are variable geometry and can provide significant gains in power down low and up top in the RPM range. Variable geometry turbos are also very well suited to 70 Series Land Cruisers that will see a lot of time on the highway, as they maintain excellent boost pressure at lower engine speeds.
Why Just Autos Use Bolt-On Turbos
We use bolt-on turbo upgrades to help reduce the likelihood of an aftermarket part failing when fitted. Retaining factory intake pipes, oil lines, coolant lines, manifolds, and dump pipes not only reduces the chance of something failing but also allows the owner to purchase parts locally from a dealership if something were to ever fail.
Aftermarket or custom parts are sometimes hard to find and also hard to know what’s been fitted. What’s more, our preferred partner, G Turbo, has been designing diesel turbochargers for over 15 years and has developed a range of turbos to increase the power, torque, and efficiency of most Toyota 70 Series Land Cruisers used for towing.
