I have got a Corsa Sport 1.4 16V and I have seen that Courtenay do these. They reckon that these are a really good mod but prices do start at £475.
What are peoples opinions on these? If my car does 0-60 in 10.5 seconds now (standard) what do you reckon this will come down too?
I am wondering whether tuning the 1.4 16V is a good idea or whether it would be the same price to go for a 2.0 and get a quicker car. Insurance may be an issue tho being 19 soon with no no claims.
Opinions welcome please.

Vauxhall Ecotec engines have very restrictive inlet manifolds and can benefit a lot from these. not totally sure about how they will perform on a sport as i only ever seen one on a GSI.
Should give a fairly good gain in most areas tho but you will need a chip to get the best out of it.

I don't think I'll bother, since I'm hoping to get the 2.0 16v transplanted in early next year......don't really want to do anything major with this engine, if I'm removing it in 6 months or so.

Ohhhh, nope, not yet. No job currently so no money to spend on it.
However, i do want it on the rollers. Standard figures would be nice  And i'll be out on track at Trax

I want to see what the torque figures are like with the ecotec pipe rather than the powercrap.
