Inlet Manifold

The AAZ inlet forts are 'D' shaped, the JX are oval, which match at the top not at the bottom. Opening the JX manifold out fully requires building up the edges to support the gasket and the resurfacing with a surface plate (See Cleaning/Trueing mating faces)

Exahaust pipe

Whilst the std JX pipe (2.25") is sufficient, a 2.5" system throughout with less resistive silencer should be of benefit if increasing the boost and fuelling (to keep exhaust manifold pressures down). (Generally reckoned to produce more torque, example of custom system to follow)

Oil Quantity/Dipstick Mods

Oil quantity on all Diesel kit mounted (52 degree angle) engines can be critical, too much being the real problem 
4.5 litres is about max. (without allowance for an additional oil cooler, a good addition to these installations) 

HarryMann: Also note that with some diesel dipsticks the correct oil level won't even be on the bottom of the stick, so shortening the dipstick tube is the normal remedy (for the AAZ anyway). About an inch and a quarter reduction from memory, or where there's a natural change in section, so that the yellow plastic scroll-clip can be re-fitted, finishing it all nicely.

Correct oil level is then about minimum on stick, but calibrate it anyway, with 4.5 litres + allowance for oil cooler if fitted (another 0.5 ~ 0.75 litres depending on cooler size and pipe run)
