does anyone know how i can get better performance from my corsa turbo diesel? i have an irmscher back box, thats all. i have been told that the diesel engine runs on kind of warm air, so an induction kit will be useless! i also dont know how to tweek turbos so any knowledge would be appreaciated.
i have an intercooler from my civic, but am not sure weather its going to make much difference on ma corsa!!!

cheers, rob

well you can get a bigger turbo then you can advance & retard the fuel pump you can also NOS it. Diesel\'s work on a very high compression ratio as the piston gets to TDC the compressed air inside the chamber is that hot! Then the injector sprays and bang
If you get a bike pump and pump a tyre up the pump starts to get worm as you are compressing the air same as what a diesel does!
But as far as mods go you are limited with a diesel.
