er, for money itd b cheaper drop a 20let in, but yeah u can turbo a 1.4 8v-but to a point though obviously as 1.4 8v components arent designed for turbo applications

i posted this earlier buddy; heres all the info:

Thanks for your enquiry, we do have a conversion for this car the standard
conversion is £2995 and gives 150 bhp and 160 lbsft of torque. We can take
this further with the aid of a new inlet manifold and additional piggy back
computer and extra injector. This cost an extra £975 and will put the power
up to 175-180 bhp.

i emailed courtenay asking the same thing, bit expensive tho

itd depend on the time of insurance cuz it changes every day, and how much it worth etc. personally more 20let into corsas hav been done-tried and tested-for that reason id have that set up in over a 1.6 16vt or 1.4 8vt
