the 2.5v6 they use is basically an x25xe, so yes it should fit, although getting good cooling will be a different matter all together...

there was never a 2.5 Turbo engine in a Saab. the first gen Saabs had 2.0 Turbo's, and the Aero had a 2.3. the new Saab 95 uses a mixture off 2.0 and 2.3 turbocharged engines with a max of 260bhp. the 2.8 V6 Turbo now being offered in the 95 and 93 is an Alloytec 60degree V6 and will not simply fit in a Corsa without massive modifications. my dads Commodore has the 3.6 version of this engine and it fills the entire engine bay. whats funny is that Saab have strapped a turbo to this engine and it only produces 260bhp, my dads is N/A and produces the same figure with only 0.8litres more capacity.
so to answer your question, no a V6 Turbo will not fit your car

woh, calm your ass down cybermonkey.....
i said, " NO, Not the V6".....
pk, take the 2ltr turbo for example, from a erm......95 9000se??..... it has the same lower subframe as a c20xe cavvy.....and the engine looks pretty much the same, whilst producing more power than the LET.

get off yer high horse. Besides, the Saab Turbo 4 cyl engine isnt even closely related to the 20XE. the B234/235 is a Saab-built in house engine
