TD does not have TC functionality to prevent wheelspin, and cannot be retrofitted.

The TD also does not have a limited slip diff, but this could be retro fitted.

I know ive read thousands of times that TC is not possible on a 2.2....but i just had a thought, the 2.2 astra GSI/Coupe/Convertible has TC, could this system not be fitted?

Good question, the Astra uses CANdi, the Omega cannot support this system.
