if you own a 1.8 corsa c get the conversionas it was quick seeing as its a bolt on jobbie ! pulled really well from 0-100 with no effort, sounded ace too ! regal reckon they push 200 bhp, it was not far off that but no way over made my evening

the power they make seems to vary rather drasticly depending on which dyno they go on.

that is all I will say on the matter. dont expect a turbo'd 1.8 corsa with a flash remap to slay corsa/astra vxr's as they simply dont. they are however a fantastic engine and very tunable. Im building one soon with a turbo conversion but to make high bhp figures they need plenty of internal work to lower compression.

Like the idea, but i don't see the point. The money spent on the car initially plus the turbo kit will outweigh the cost of a decent Astra GSi/Sri turbo, where it's all done for you, with proven reliability, and has the chassis/brake mods already done to it, which are going to be another cost for the corsa.

Ok you don't get the benifit of being original with the GSi, but common sense says that you'll have far fewer problems, and the engine will last much longer for you to enjoy it. It should also be worth more than a modded Corsa when you come to sell it.
