would be better with a bigger turbo. smoother boost delivery reduce wheel spin and torque steer

you sure its running an LSD from what you guys been saying it spins a lot, Got taken out in an Astra GSi mk3 with a LET tuned to stage 3 and an Quaife LSD and that didnt spin muchjust got phernominal torque steer goin round roundabouts !
dont sound like its got an lsd but the way it puts power down altho still a very imressive car

Bigger turob will increase lag, so power delivery wont be smoother, and wont reduce wheelspin as it will get to a certain rpm, turob kicks in then it'll be all over the place.
Standard turbo is fine for a corsa.

T78 Thats bigger than your whole engine and gearbox aint it
Top speed, well, the calibras were very very areodynamic and got to around 150-155, but then the corsas lighter. I dont think the top speed will be all that good though as there as areodynamic as a brick. Should still see 145+ though on a long enough road. WHo knows though, 160 could be possible, if u have the bottle

i can't imagine doing 150 in my car the wind resistance is bad enough at 100

It would easily rev out at around 140 in 5th, and get there pretty sharpish too, then just bounce off limiter.
On a good dry day, it'd prob pull to around 155-160 on a long enough stretch in 6th. If it had the power, in theory, i believe the redline in 6th is 180mph+, but it would need 400+bhp odd bhp to do this.

But as mentioned above, you'd have to be an idiot or mental (or both), to do 130mph+ in a corsa, coz at the end of the day, the car isnt designed in anyway to cope with these speeds.
Even with it slammed on stiff suspension on a racing track, with the biggest brakes available, its just stupid.
Best off gettin customised gearing, so that u just got excellent acceleration and top speed of bout 120-130.

you don't have a clue. bigger turbo does mean a bit more lag it also means the boost won't come on so strong over a short rpm window which means there will be less of a sudden increase in torque which = less wheel spin and smoother power delivery. go away Dimo you know fuck all about turbos
