Im running 220hp -220ft/lb on standard turbo now .. Was aiming around 300bhp really ... But changing my turbos going to be more than getting the turbo the manifold and gaskets right ?

Why don't you just keep the standard one at the moment and push it first before you spend muney on another one?

turbo from an evo seemed to starting to get popular when I had my corsa, think theres someone on migweb that sells the converted manifolds aswell, only downside is you have to run airfiler on other side so would have to extend afm wires. downpipe would be other side aswell

probably the cheapest route to have a turbo good enough for around 380bhp, can get the smaller housing which will help spool but would probably be maxed out at 340-350bhp, can usually find some on ebay for around £200 mark, think the company that does the manifolds charges £250 for one I think

If go evo turbo, the standard gsr will do 370/380 at a push. If go tommi mak which has a titanium shaft then spools about 1k earlier and peaks about 350-360, but drives awesome.

Bare in mind that over 300bhp be looking at steel rods or they will go on holiday + exit the block haha

c20 or z20? A hybrid Vxr turbo will cope with 280-300 Bhp. And saves you needing stand alone management & mapping session.

Left a message on your wanted thread if your interested. T3 is a very good choice for the power you want. Spools really really well.
