Re: 2.8L Astron. TURBO or NA?
Go NA, Then Turbo latter :) I dont think it will be a problem if you lighten the crank for turbo also. If you go with the turbos your looking at anyway. Thats not a HUGE HP turbo setup. Id probably be more worried about those rods in a turbo setup? Be ok with the HI RPM, but im not sure what the com...

I second that, depends what you want, But if its an 8psi setyup like you say im guessing a smaller streetable setup is the way to go. i know the yanks do very well, with a 20G mits turbo setup on there 2.6 starions.

Re: triton diff gears
Depending on the Yr, you can fit a 3.9 from some L200 utes and you can also use a 3.545 crown and pinion from a Late model wide body starion (larger diff), youll need to import that from USA
I have put the 3.545 crown and pinion onto my Pajero LSD.
