The long awaited release of United Fuel Injection’s UFI VDJ270 upgraded wastegate’d turbocharger has finally arrived. After many years of testing, refining and engineering HD Auto is proud to present the United Fuel Injection VDJ270 gated turbo. Marking a distinct difference in design to the factory style of turbocharger, United Fuel Injection has opted to design this turbocharger around a traditional philosophy of using a waste gate to control the boost pressure of the turbo. As a testament to it’s designers capabilities, the VDJ270 is a truly unique design featuring direct OEM style bolt on fitment matched with the renowned reliably of over 45 years in turbocharger development. Gated turbochargers have been the talk of upgrades on the 70 Series Toyota LandCruiser from the time they began being modified, often with the drawback of issues such as increased turbo lag, poor fitment as there was no true direct fit replacement, and reliability concerns as significant modifications had to be made to accompany the turbo upgrade.
