Nope, 3.6 straight six twin turbo and 377 BHP out the box.

Now, I do know of an Omega GLS with Lotus Carlton running gear. I wonder if it's that one.

Does it have a single wiper DTM style? If so then it's the LC one. Reason being, the engine got in the way of the standard windscreen wiper motor so it had to be modded to fit.
That'll be omegatoy's....

Hi Andy

Courtenay Turbo bought the rights to the various kits from Turbo Technics, so TT haven't made any Vauxhall kits since.

so can we say that the 'owner' of the 'twin turbo' Omega was talking through his tailpipe(s)?

May be a custom job, or a 3.6 twin turbo from an LC, aka Omegatoy's old beast
