Got a update but not a good one My turbo is dead Hasn't been boosting right for ages and I got sick so took it off to have a look to make sure thats what is was going to be an expensive month

First off it has the normal kkk16 cracks



Then I noticed the compressor wheels has seen better days



And the exhaust gasket has been blowing to top it all off



And a nice hole so I'm looking for the turbo to cooler pipe work if anyone can help out?



No turbo



So I'm on the look out for a turbo or will just have to save for a recon unit, Been quoted £525 for a stage 2 k24 Not sure if there will be any gains from this turbo compared to a stock turbo?

Well a little update, when I fitted the 3'' top hat I used studs that were to long I'll let the pictures do the talking

Let throttle body on the left with restricted opening



And the problem



Few mins with the dremel and sorted took it for a quick spin and its much much better now

Been busy working loads lately so haven't really got much done, I've fitted evo 5 chip set and vxr injectors and removed my leaky dump valve now holding boost like it should But it was all to much for my rear mount Didn't get any pictures of the mount but it managed to twist the mount and snap a bolt in the box, but sorted it now with a new strengthened rear mount that my mate Mieran made.
Pic of the bolt



and pic of the new mount





And FatJon doing what he does best



And cleaned the car so took a few pics

Been a while since I've updated this thread but been busy with a few jobs and had phone problems (Been replaced now) car is now off the road till the weather is better already started collecting parts Never got round to posting it up up not long after fitting new rear mount the box died on the motor way while changing from 4th to 5th got no pictures of dead box but here the one i replaced it with



Home for a few months



Random dash shot





I've also bought a dsop style down pipe but had to 'modify' my cross member for it to fit







Also trying out a idea for a 4th mount on a corsa seem to line up good but clearance isnt great but will be rising my car up a few mm's to help should be done soon as my mate sorts his new welder and gas out







Random K26 turbine blade pictures





And heres the engine swap job I done a few weeks ago 1.6 sport with dead engine, simple engine swap with a full service and new belt



Old lump ECO SHITE



And Finally my new daily cav SRI c20xe wheels are getting changed



Hoping to be working on the corsa alot over the next few weeks so should be a few updates

Love the look of your corsa, not enough pre 97's about.

Cav looks good, a set of cesaros would make it imo.
