not without a lot of fabrication really. Read this for one option http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=35931
Secondly you could drop a 1.7td isuzu lump out of a cavalier/mk 3 astra and carry out the above tutorial for even more gains

its identical, the only thing you need to change over is the clutch and flywheel. You have to mount your 1.5 flywheel and clutch on the 1.7 lump

apparently you can fabricate the turbo off of a 3.0TD Isuzu trooper to fit. Some information on VXON forums... they seem to know a bit about it.

the 1.5td with the boost and fuel turned up went suprisingly well imo
heard of even better gains on the 1.7td
Non of this bigger turbo stuff though, not just as simple as sticking a bigger turbo and away you go is it?
