doesnt feel as fast as the giti?
how do you think it would compare to a redtop corsa?
regardless of quality, mods, handling etc?
just power wise?

Looks nice... I had the earlier shape but ended up selling it as the turbo started to smoke on tickover.. Good fun while I had it though, mine had a full spax kit on it, drove really well..
Has yours got A MBC fitted, if so, some twats probably just screwed the boost up..

They are near enough exactly the same up until 80ish and an XE corsa will just ever so slightly pull away. Tried and Tested on many occassions. But for alot less money the Glanza can easily be made quicker.

DONT FCD!!!!
All the FCD does is intercept the signal from the AFM and give the ECU a lower one. This means the ECU thinks there is less air going into the cylinders than there actually is, therefore your fuelling will be wrong! Get the fuelling wrong on a turbo car (ie Lean) and you know what happens!
Fuel cut is there for a reason............safety!!! Turn the boost down, save your cash and do it properly!!!! ECU needed!!!
Love the car by the way, right shape and right colour!!! Much more potential that the GTI in my opinion!!! Just dont melt it by skimping!!!!

Its these cars that have made turbos uncool
Usually hate them. This one looks cool though, only ever look good in white for some reason.
