Right, Just testing the water here, Me and my mate have just turbo'd his 1.4 SR nova, How many people would be interesting in having there 8 V corsa turbo'd? We are buying a corsa soon to turbo and sell, If its profitable will will be doing a few. Ive also done my mondeo too which is now a scooby slayer

Not a problem, We are still in the development stages with the vauxhall 8v and is proving to be reliable

Not looked into the 16 valver yet so we are not sure on the price as yet, Power gains well that usuall depends how deep your pocket is, When my mondy is 100% complete I should be looking at around about a 90 - 110 bhp increase
