dbailis (sp) do a inlet for them but its £900 quid from regal so thats y i havnt got 1.might have a go at making my own though for a laugh
then theres the normal exhausts and filters.not induction kits though as they kill the afm's on 10xe's.use a panel filter and drill the airbox if u must have a bit of noise

you really would be better waiting for a while if you have no ncb and buying another bigger engined corsa in my opinion.
this way you wont lose money on the expensive mods that you do to your x10 and you probably can get a more powerful corsa for the same price that you sell yours.
to answer your question though as above you can get an inlet manifold and the rest but you wouldn't see much gain-
you could easily run a 25 jet of nitrous to very good effect and get excellent gains for the price you pay. and the nitrous kit can be remove any time you sell you car and fitted on to your new car at a minimal cost. plus you have the choice of having 25-50-75-100 or more shots of nitrous available at an extra cost of about £12 for the different jets!!

i suggested 25 jets. i just said you can get 100 jets. and as for the turbo idea thats a bit ridiculous. would cost a few k to do it properly, may aswell buy something else.
you probably could run a 50 shot progressively on a 1.0l if you wanted and got it set up properly.
hi dean  hows that grille??
