At a guess looking at the blue cover it's a 2.3 from the 95 & 93s? ???

Did see a turbo'd Omega two or three years back at the PVS,think it belonged to a Polish guy, they put it up on the rolling road, the crowd all moved forward to watch,but we all took a big step back.....just seemed the natural thing to do as a turbo on an Omega seemed like the work of the devil to the purists :-\

Looks like a well done conversion :y

Whats drivability like when tootling around town?  Omega is a big heavy bus, does it need the turbo spun up well to get the old barge moving?
