Boosting Performance: GU Nissan Patrol Turbo & Fuel Pump Upgrades

The Nissan Patrol GU has long been a favourite among off-road adventurers, tourers, and towing enthusiasts across Australia. Known for its rugged build, reliable diesel engines, and go-anywhere capability, it’s a legend in the 4WD world. But for those chasing extra performance — more pulling power for heavy towing, sharper throttle response, or raw off-road grunt — upgrading the turbocharger and fuel pump is the ultimate way to transform the GU Patrol.

At Enhanced Offroad, we’ve fitted countless turbo and fuel pump upgrades to GU's, and the difference is nothing short of incredible. It’s not just about dyno numbers — it’s about how much stronger, smoother, and more capable your Patrol feels on every trip.

Why Upgrade the Turbo on a GU Patrol?

The GU’s stock turbo does the job, but like most factory setups, it’s built for reliability and compliance — not maximum performance. A high-flow or upgraded turbo unleashes the Patrol’s true potential:

⚡ More Power & Torque – Stronger acceleration and pulling power across the rev range.
⛰ Effortless Towing – Makes hauling caravans, campers, or boats easier and safer on long hauls.
🏜 Better Off-Road Control – Extra torque low down helps you crawl over rocks, power through mud, or climb dunes with confidence.
🚗 Improved Driveability – A more responsive, efficient engine that’s enjoyable to drive day in and day out.

The Role of a Fuel Pump Upgrade

While a bigger turbo delivers more air, your engine also needs the right amount of fuel to match. That’s where a fuel pump upgrade comes in. Without it, your turbo can’t perform at its best, and worse, you risk running lean and damaging the engine.

Here’s what you gain with a high-performance fuel pump:

💨 Consistent Fuel Pressure – Keeps your Patrol running safely under heavy load.
🔧 Supports Higher Boost – Ensures your upgraded turbo gets the fuel it needs.
📈 Unlocks Tuning Potential – Allows for a safer, more powerful ECU tune.

The Turbo + Fuel Pump Combo

On their own, both upgrades offer benefits. But when combined, they completely transform the GU Patrol into a new beast:

•  Stronger towing capability, especially up steep hills
•  Sharper throttle response when you need it most
•  Smoother, more usable power on and off-road
•  Greater reliability under tough Aussie conditions

We’ve seen customers drive out of our shop grinning ear-to-ear after these upgrades, telling us their Patrol feels “like a whole new rig.”

Real-World Difference

Recently, a GU owner brought in his Patrol that was struggling with heavy caravan towing. On long highway climbs, the factory setup just wasn’t cutting it. After fitting a high-flow turbo and upgraded fuel pump — along with a safe custom tune — the change was immediate. He could tow confidently, overtake with ease, and cruise without the engine feeling stressed.

For the hardcore off-roaders, the upgrade means conquering terrain that once seemed impossible. With more torque and sharper response, thick sand, rutted tracks, and rocky climbs become far less of a challenge.
