u2u corsacrazy iirc he is selling the turbo off his 1.4 8v, it will fit straight on and should see you to 115bhp easy.

Think there was a guide for tuning the 1.2 8v in Total Vauxhall a year or 2 ago.
Not really worth it though. Easier just to get a better engine to start with

Its expensive - you spend a lot but don't get much gains on that engine.
Better changing the engine or indeed the car. If that's not an option, wait.

Don't even attempt it, you would be better off tuning a 50cc scooter

You might aswell buy a new car with the money you would be looking at to fit a turbo, has anyone even done this on a 1.2 8v
