It's costly to do, and time consuming.

Maybe u2u Beardy, he's got one so will be able to help you out.

It'll cost you a lot for custom exhaust manifolds for the V6 conversion. About £600 IIRC.

Just because something runs a turbo doesn't mean its less reliable.

To have a good LET you need to throw alot of money at it, as the only doner cars you will find will have near 100,000 miles or more. From what ive gathered from kieranbravo21 im guessing he hasn't got that much money to spend considering he suggested just doing a redtop conversion after just £600 was mentioned, so a LET is right out the question. Just Redtop your corsa mate. Cheap, easy, and IMO realiable.. Worst case, its usually cheap to repair anyway! Good luck what ever you do though.
