fit a TD engine, the difference straight away will be amazing.

currently i drive a stripped out corsa b with a 1.5td isuzu lump with the boost turned up to about 17psi, i would say its on par with a 1.6gsi with the added fact i get 35mpg+ regardless of how its driven

I had one, owned it for 40 days got fed up with it and bought a 1.6 sport.

Don't waste your money on trying to tune a 55bhp non turbo diesel. Engine transplant or new car is the only way :thumbs:
