yes, after that i would advise start losing weight as chasing Bhp will cost £££ from then onwards.

well i got a little bit of money but my nova is all ready stripped out and with a engine what has around 130bhp is goin to be quite quick but then i thought about turboing the x16xe because i know alot of people who could help me out with some of the parts

yer i no but then it is all bout the engine change but then i think a 130bhp in a nova what is stripped out will be quicker enough but my aim is to beat a vts so would a 130bhp do it or would i need more

You could always froget the idea...
leave the standard engine in, and correct your grammar?
But yes, you will beat a VTS with a 130bhp nova 1.6 16v
