learn about engines.

You can't make a 1.2 8v any quicker...let alone turbo it.

Whole cally engine into a corsa...yes it's been done... alot of work+parts+money needed.

this... No.

reasonj I ask is because he stuck a turbo onto a 1.2 punto a few years back and it flew like nothing ive seen before.
might just buy it and sell on as its cheap enough

Not that simple. Tuning the 1.2 is pointless. Engine conversion perhaps, but thats expensive.
