Just go slower so economy is better ;) Or keep the car at peak torque.
Was told the 1.6 was more tweakable, the reason the intercooler was added was partly as was concerned about inlet air temp in Italy and I had the intercooler doing nothing.
If I were to work on it now, I'd either go intercooler next to the radiator (like the pug 406?)or in the wing area infront of the tyre (like a Y10 turbo) or over the engine intercooler like the BX turbo diesel not infront of the radiator. Then I'd look at oil cooling too. But then it would be another project. Know the body work is still good as I used ensis fluid.

Nice! Ours is the 5 full gears as it's a 91. Yeah, it's mostly tuning up the fuel pump with this engine isnt it? Tbh if I was to do anything with it I'd want to improve the economy not the speed. With it being the family car that's more important, although it's pretty good as it is. Especially compared to the petrol version. Would changing the turbo and intercooler give me more umpfh and more top end economy? As we said before the idea of this car with a modern economical engine is pretty tempting....
Once I've got it all out back together and polished I'll put up some photos
