0-100kmh is pretty much identical, they are lighter at only 920kg, but produce less torque than the Corsa, but about 7bhp more.

as standard they are pretty poop...

my mate just bought a Galanza Turbo and its really poor in 1st and 2nd (runs half boost) then once its moving in 3rd with full boost its quick-ish.

runs out of steam at 100mph though... just keeps pulling v slowly!


but once breathed upon they are a very different animal

the turbo inlet and outlets look stupidly restrictive on my friends galanza.

there are two bottle necks, and the turbo inlet itself must be about 3foot long of mincy diameter piping to the airbox!!

I cant wait for him to re-route everything with a stonking front mounted cooler instead of the crappy top mounted warmer!


Toyota mechanic I speak to now and then runs 15/16psi on the standard turbo and tells me the fueling is fine.

That one is a little weapon with 170/180bhp

Just got a nice quote. Tempted to sell up and buy one, reckon they would make a good track car? What bhp are they standard? Im only assuming they are easily tuneable being a turbo engine.

track car, yes, look at the tightness of -wylo-'s car, it would be awesome

tuneable, yes.

I dont want to imagine how much money it costs getting one up to 180bhp though.
