[quote][i]Originally posted by Ian[/i] question 1 how hard is it to the conversion from 1.4 to a 2.0 turbo? Depends what you term 'hard'. If changing a wheel is moderately difficult then a 2.0 turbo installation is prohibitively unobtainable. question 2 is it worth buying a pre turbo'd corsa (another words one thats someone else has done) This would mean you get to use it now, and it's generally cheaper to do this although you do leave yourself open to buying something that someone else has botched and lied to you about when you buy it. question 3 Where is the best place to find info on the conversion This web site. question 4 what is a good average cost for a conversion if self done I think the consensus is around £1500 by the time you have bought the engine itself, mounts, shafts, exhaust and all consumables. You could probably scrape it for less if you're lucky but this would include used parts in unknown condition. question 5 if you was offered a turbo lump that you dint really know the history of what are the key signs to keep an eye out for like smoke... ect Same as buying the car - it should have service history and sound and look OK. Check for leaks and the condition of hoses and wiring as an indicator of general condition. Problem is you won't generally be able to see it running if you buy it while it's out of a car. It's a complete gamble really. question 6 am i wasting my time writting this??? If you don't have a few grand and can't insure it when you've finished then yes. If this hasn't put you off then no, absolutely not, good luck. [/quote]
