well thats not entierely true chris my astra gsi is on 64k now on the origional turbo and all it does is short journeys..... done less than 5k every year for the last 4 years and its fine uses hardly any oil and boost's completely normal................ if u ask me u all rag them from cold and simply do not look after them | |

My car is on 4th turbo in 58k, will last on higher mileage but round tow kills them ask any owner of the VAG car that uses the same K04 unit. | |

Maybe more fun, but possibly more too insure, harder to sell on?? Does that price include brakes or uprated suspension ?? | |

Well i have thought about just getting an Astra GSi, they'd work out at the same price really... But the Corsa just seems like it'd be alot more fun | |

£2800 for conversion+ price of a Corsa.. Surely you will be better off with an astra Gsi?? Better spec'd etc..... | |

f28 is the way to go, they can handle decent power also | |

There some positives about the engine then! I'd contemplate an Astra GSi instead but i think the Corsa could be more fun and something different-ish... | |

Only thing is, you start to think you can beat anything, and then get owned by Evo's and Scoobys & get laughed at. | |

It's in Halifax, so probably even closer to you! A company called MCD Vaux Conversions or something like that... | |

Not owned or been in, but Turbo's can be common, some last for 30k, some last 100k, same as anything really. | |

Basically i'm thinking of getting a Corsa C next year and getting a Z20LET put in it, i've found a company not far from me that supply and fit everything, so basically a drive in - drive out service. |
