corsa B turbo would be cheaper than corsa C turbo to do. acouple of people are doing 2 litre turbo corsa B's, its costing them in and around £3000, best people to speak to are Beardy and Fruitbooter as he is getting his corsa turbo'd right now.
welcome!

Insure it properly because if you crash it you be in big sh*t.
Quite easy to tell if there is a big redtop in there too!!
