What is the planned use for this rig?   If it's a DD then I wouldn't switch away.  But if you plan on going to Toyota Axles and 35" tires and everything then a whole new suspension might be your thing.

Before diving into the Turbo Diesel conversion you might want to check out JLuck's build at http://www.zukiworld.com/forum/build-diaries-how-to-diy/sidekick-turbo-diesel-build-(then-rebuild)-picture-thread (http://www.zukiworld.com/forum/build-diaries-how-to-diy/sidekick-turbo-diesel-build-(then-rebuild)-picture-thread)!!/ to see how far he made it before switching over to an Audi Turbo.
