If you tow, tour or just want the 2.8 to pull properly, this is the turbo. The Flex PRO pairs a ball bearing centre section with a high-flow billet compressor wheel — the bearing gets it spinning early for strong low-down torque, and the billet wheel keeps the air coming up top where the factory unit runs out of puff. It’s a direct replacement for the standard turbo and ships with a conversion intake pipe, so the whole install stays bolt-on.
Power potential
On a tuned vehicle with intercooler, airbox and exhaust sorted, the Flex PRO will push the 1GD to around 265HP and 650Nm before the factory single-rotor injection pump becomes the ceiling. Step up to a stroker pump and 300+ WHP and 700Nm+ is on the table.
Suits
- Toyota Hilux N80 (GUN126) – 1GD-FTV 2.8L turbo diesel, 2015 to 2020 pre-facelift models
In the box
- 1 x Flex PRO ball bearing VNT turbocharger with billet compressor wheel
- 1 x Actuator rod
- 1 x Conversion intake pipe – connects to the standard airbox and crankcase breather, no cutting or fabrication
Specifications & fitment
- Bolts straight in place of the factory turbo
- Matches the OEM exhaust manifold, oil and coolant lines, and intercooler piping
- Boost rated to 36psi
- VNT stepper motor is not supplied — transfer your genuine stepper motor across from the original turbo
Note: Not suitable for the late-2020 onwards facelift Hilux (150kW 1GD), which uses a different turbo and manifold. Best results come with a matching tune; the stock ECU will run it but won’t get the most out of it.

Pre-Order Information
Items where the “Add to Cart” button is replaced with “Pre-Order” are classified as pre-order items. When placing a pre-order, a warning box will appear outlining the terms and conditions, including the estimated delivery timeframe.
Please keep the following in mind:
Stock is not on hand – we have no control over delivery times until the stock arrives.
Patience is required – pre-ordering secures your item, but fulfilment depends on supplier availability.
High-demand items – pre-orders are the best way to lock in popular products, which often sell out before they even land.
Allow a buffer – please add 2–3 weeks to the provided ETA to account for any unforeseen delays beyond our control.
Pre-ordering ensures you don’t miss out on in-demand products, and we’ll keep you updated as soon as your order is ready to ship.
