basically on a nova do the fuel pump mods and turn the fueling up then turn the boost up until the safety cut off valve just cuts in then tape it up, then your set at about 20psi which is safe then its just a case of fiddling with the fuel screw until you get the right amount of smoke lol

You'll need a boost gauge some tools and a manual boost controller to get the most out of it. Most see the power rise to just shy of 100bhp with these basic mods.

There is also some extra info on VXON for the 1.7TD, they are similar engines. If you fancy going the whole hog, how about trying to fit a Isuzu 3.1 turbo and intercooler lmao!
