We're not american enough James. You need dry roads to pull it off really.

Where did you get the pic from the mini?

There's a thread about it on Turbominis, the bloke got 47bhp at the wheels from a standard 1275 without the turbo bolted on, then bolted the turbo back on and made 78bhp

No real need on a corsa though, there's "plenty" of space in the engine bay to put a big enough turbo, and if the turbo's too big to go in, then you'll be running too much power for FWD anyway, so you need to turn the engine round to make room for it

One accusation never levelled at BMW’s mighty M5 was that it lacked power. Annoying gearbox and far too many buttons yes, but 507bhp was generally felt to be sufficient........
read on.......
Clearly not if you are Currency Motorcars of California, USA, however. The tuner, based in the state known for its environmental credentials has managed to raise the power output of the 5.0-litre V10 by more than 300bhp.

This has been done by strapping not one but two intercooled turbochargers to it, boosting torque to 733lb/ft and brake horsepower to a dizzying 800bhp. That drops the standard M5’s 0-62mph time from from 4.7 seconds to 3.6 seconds. Currency Motorcars has also removed the limiter that pegged the M5 to 155mph rather than the 200mph the car would be capable of. However the power boost means the four-door saloon is now capable of snapping at the heels of a Bugatti Veyron and able to hit 240mph.

The car has been lowered by 35mm and rides on enormous 20-inch chromed alloy wheels hiding 14-inch brake discs. The interior has also received the bling treatment, and, not satisfied with mere leather and suede, Currency Motorcars commissioned a Florida Alligator skin interior. Dyed black for full menacing effect the hides cover everything from the seats, armrests and centre console to the steering wheel boss. The price for this one-off creation is £179,000 or roughly three times the price of a standard M5.

And what a brilliant place for a pair of turbo's: No room in your engine bay? under the boot floor :thumbsup: lot's of cold air to cool the turbo's and the boost air pipe too. Hmmm, maybe that'd work for the ST :kroozUK:

Cheaper than a Veyron.

More practical too.

Oh, and it looks better too.
