depends what car its going in. dont think you would manage in a corsa.
but anything can be done. someone from aberdeen has managed to fit a 2.2 supercharged engine in a corsa.

If it is that engine which is in them pics mate, be careful as it never worked right as it was made before they where developed and companys made a proper kit

Jenvey do a a full TB kit for the V6 however it struggles to fit under a vectra bonnet, let alone an astra or corsa. The migweb like as beardy has pointed out never worked well, the Mk1 astra had a lot of time spent on setting it up right and got no where - the reason? It needed more length on the trumpets. Space is an issue but can be done if you willing to have a bonnet bulge etc.

That Jenvey kit is awesome! I wanted a set for my old V6 ST Vectra. Kit was 'only' £1.5k but they wanted a further £3.5k for engine management as the Vectra runs on a 3 pin ignition system or something. Awesome stuff though!
