stardog, sorry, I have been away for a few days. Part One is smaller and the engine manifold side on turbo is smaller also.

I think you have bought the wrong turbo looking at the sellers photos that inlet to the manifold is way to small.

This is what the proper turbo looks like I out lined the area that you are saying is to small.
The one marked in white is that to small to fit on the manifold.

stardog, The one out lined in white is small also. 4JG2 motor ( believe should have been 4JG2T), I have been told sometimes they just drop the "T" but means the same. Part #8971297081 same number on my turbo and the one I bought. Everything matches up (or does it) so could you please explain why then the difference. Company in China (Alibaba) very difficult too get info out off. I think I might just off load turbo on ebay, but what is the motor it will fit is my next guess. Thanks for your help.

I googled the number ihi 8971297081 seems to be a couple of different turbo sizes in the photos that came up.
But the 1 you have will not fit on the exhaust manifold its to small where it bolts on I wouldn't have a clue what engine it will fit but it did look the same as the 1 for a 4jb2 engine.
I have never heard of a 4jb2 engine before only 4jb1 maybe someone else knows about these engines on this site.

To geeves or stardog...Sorry I have been away for awhile. Well it has been a long and sometimes spent frustrating days trying to get this monster out of my workshop. It finally happen the other day, even thought it meant pushing the Wizard out of the shed. It just won't start for me, tested all the glow plugs these came up good, then I find no power to the glow plugs, pulled the relays for these apart and looked ok. Tested the power wires going into the relays, no power going through the glow plug relays!! Dose this mean I need to replace these relays? With the near new battery going flat, jumper leads not heavy enough, by this I was ready too burn the Wizard. Made a new heavy set of jumper leads, hooked up the D-Max, ah!!! motor now turns over good, but not firing, I see that the dash light for fuel does not go out while cranking, guess there is still air in the pump and fuel line. I guess one day it will surprise me.

The light means you have water in the filter I would change the fuel filter and drain the fuel tank and put some clean fuel in it for starters.
Then prime the fuel pump filter until there is no air bubbles coming out off the 10mm bolt.
Then make up a live wire from battery to your fuel solenoid on the pump I would use a alligator clip on the battery side to disconnect to turn off the engine.
Have you checked all of the fuses as well under the bonnet and inside the cabin.
