I moved to Costa Rica a year ago and now have a 1999 diesel Montero that needs some work. I need a new turbo and a completely new suspension for the horrible roads and rivers I drive through everyday. Model is V46wgnxfl, Engine 4m40. When I go onto auto part providers in the states it only gives one gasoline option for the 99 Montero. Anyone know of a good site to order a turbo from and any suggestions on a suspension kit are appreciated. I was looking at Old Man EMU as an option.

Try Coombs Country Auto up here in Canada. We've had the 4M40 engines for a few years now, and this shop is one of the best around for the Mitsubishi.

The suspension is exactly the same. What are you looking to replace, the springs/torsion bars/shocks, or the bushings. Most people rave about the OME suspension for the springs/shocks combo. I would buy the rubber OEM bushings rather than the urethane replacement kits, as most people that have used these complain of excessive wear after a year or so. To reduce confusion, OME = Old Man Emu, an aftermarket manufacturer and OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer as in the original factory part as a replacement. You'll find the cheapest turbos on E-bay, I've installed and tested quite a few of the Chinese knock off turbos, for the most part their quality has been more than acceptable.
Just visited kherman7 down in Costa a week ago and got to see the 99 Diesel. Cool truck! Also, checked out Ebay for you kherman7 and you can get a new turbo between $270USD and $419USD. Saw a new engine from the UK for $1,401USD too. Not sure if you know but the engine was also used by the Delica Van! The best prices for the suspension I have seen were at Rocky Road Outfitters here: http://www.rocky-road.com/monterosus.html
