My Combo van has the 65 horse DI 'low blow' turbo donk. How in the name of foook did they manage to get only 65 bhp out of a 16 valve 1.7 turbo diesel
Every time I get passed by a DTI with the intercooled 75bhp bad boy mill , I get a semi !

Jeepers n i though i had it bad Pretty shite engineering if you aske me lol, my pal has a 2L astra van non intercooled unsure on dt/dti but even in limp mode the thing lets off and leaves me standing lol
I want it quicker but want to keep the diesel as cheap "white" fuel comes up quite often
