Are you using the 20B water pump? You should be. The 2nd gen pump has about 30% less capacity.

YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED AN UPGRADED RADIATOR. Mount the biggest 3" thick aluminum radiator that you can fit, with the most powerful e-fan you can find.

I Googled "td19c turbo" and couldn't find anything. The reason I did that is because all of the common Mitsubishi TD turbos are too small for a 20B, except the really big ones. Did you mean TD15?

I've never heard of a Mitsibushi Pajero but did look it up....3.2L diesel. If the turbo is indeed from that engine, it is way too small.

The 20B water pump and housing look totally different than the 2nd gen housing. The 20B has a dual thermostat housing, and will have a serpentine belt. The 2nd gen housing has one thermostat and a v-belt.
