nope, two different engines

isuzu 1.7td mk3 1992 to 1998
gm x17dtl mk3 1995 to 1998
gm x17dtl mk4 1998 to 2000
isuzu 1.7td(y17dt) 2000 onwards to mid 2004
isuzu 1.7td(z17dtl) 2004 onwards

so 2004 should be isuzu and turbo should be on the front of the engine and yeah its much better then GM

Don't know about that now. I've had nothing but trouble with mine, although it's the new model but also 2004...cdti.
