VXR turbo fit it yourself you'll do it for £500
Cat back exhaust, precat pipe and coilovers, and your onto a winner
And remove that horrid Turbo badge,

Air flow meters
Turbo wear
Manifolds cracking
Boost Control solenoids
And anti-roll bar links
Thats some of the problems you may come across whilst owning your astra,
Just do your best to maintain it, i.e. servicing, timing belt, also do the waterpump and tensioner at the same time.

Needs a decent back box, instead of that peashooter, remove turbo badge, then what shEp said.
