i have put a 1.7td in a corsa and using it as a run about untill i get my nova on the road....
iv already turned the boost and fuel up, straight through exhaust, will be fitting a front mount intercooler in the next few days also
what im askin is, is there anything else i can do to the engine bar spending loads on a new turbo or is that pretty much it
also will i notice the diffrence when i fit the cooler??
cheers

the 2.4 only makes 115bhp but the torque is massive so could be fun and i doubt its heavier then a v6

when you say exhaust can you expand on that, as if you havent already got an enlarged bore from the turbo back i would high recommend that you do this.
also what boost are you currently running?
vids are a must

The omega has a 2.2dti or 2.5td .

according to vxon you can fit a 3.1 tropper turbo with a small bit of modding
have a good read on there and migweb for pro's on this engine

I'm sure someone did that as well but it didn't last very long
