Hi,
I'm looking at a used 2001 Prado with the 1KD-FTV engine that is in overall good condition but upon test drive it seems to be very under powered. I'm not very familiar with these particular engines but I noticed that the turbo doesn't appear to spool up until about 2800-3000 rpm. I've watched a couple YouTube videos of the same motor and their turbos appear to engage much sooner. Can anyone enlighten me on the potential issues? Is this common? Is this an easy fix or should I look for a different vehicle?
Thank you
