im guessing you used magic as you clearly have no clue.

i am 90% sure that i am the only person who has converted a 1.7 engine to fit into a nova. i know im the only one who has ever put pictures up of it anyway

there was a yellow nova down my way with the 1.7td he smashed it though.

is he on here???? no!! my statement still stands

Found out today that the turbo/actuator is weak on my TD :(

It will still only make a bar boost with the actuator pipe removed. Fail :(
No 1.7bar for me

the grill did actually still fit

Yeah.
Will i need to increase it further to get more boost?

I get smoke under full boost.

I assumed with the actuator pipe off the turbo would boost to whatever it could...(until A-the turbo died, 2-the overboost safety valve opened) ?

Ive got quite a few goodies to go on too!!! FMIC, short pipe and cone filter for comp intake, NA inlet etc etc
