You could, but it'd be bloody expensive and surely not worth it on a 1.2 16v?

Different, but incredibly expensive for very little performane boost.

Good luck with a 2.0T 2.0 conversions aren't as easy in a Corsa C as they are in a B

yes, this can be done. companies such as Van Aaken do this type of conversion and run teh turbo at a low boost such as 3 or 4 psi

however, my mate had the 2nd zetec-s to have the van aaken conversion (1st car was their demonstrator) but to say he has had a few problems would eb the understatement of the century.

putting a turbo on a non-turbo (as standard) car isnt something that will go smoothly

Thanks for that, wont bother then, might just purchase a fezzi turbo for time being then, funds dependant of course.

Ojc - whats the charge for a dump valve from yaself then?
I can pay 27 and a third pence per hour OR you can have my cat?

Let me know!!

my mate made a preamp to boost his headunit preouts but it picked up interference from the engine and when he accelarated it changed in frequency making it sound like he had a big exhaust -quite funny in a crappy nova -not quite the same but thought id share

2.5 V6 is a waste really.

Better off getting a rear wheel drive Cosworth conversion. www.a1rallysport specialise in this conversion. And they have built a 518bhp rear wheel drive Focus Cosworth.

it'd be far cheaper and easier to just get a 2.0XE put in and much more driveable.
