156bhp in a teeny weeny corsa cant be bad! what sort of performance does it chuck out with throttle bodies?
and for that matter, what exactly are throtle bodies?

Every car with injection has a throttle body, just that with throttle bodies you have 4 throttles, one for each cylinder

Yeah, u got the kinda money it costs for a turbo then?  Its not a cheap conversion. U can do a 2.0litre 16v conversion and have it running for less than the price of a C20LET, and thats before u do anything!
AS for tuning, around 300bhp can be obtained without forced induction or NOS on the redtops.
And yeah, 155bhp in a small car can be quite fun, esp when u've got the torque to match it.

For an awesome set of throttle bodies,check out www.sbdev.co.uk
Go to 2.0L XE tapered throttle bodies
They come with MBE engine management systems (the dogz).

is it true you can only fit a 2.0 redtop in a 1.4 16 or a 1.6 GSi corsa?

its just easier if its a GSI mate, you need to change less things like radiator, and header tank
