Had a few tweaks to the Corsa C...had the following items fitted:
Vxr Injectors
Vxr Afm
New Spark plugs
and last but not least the stage 3.5 remap.
Took a cheeky vid on my private road:

Tbh I'm kinda thinking it's too much power! 2nd you can just about get grip along as its a straight road, but 1st gear is out of the question. I know you guys are used to seeing threads about Corsa's running 350+ Bhp but honestly i don't know how they cope with it, I can barely use the power in mine! I suspect it's running around 280 ish Bhp but i just wouldn't want any more...not without a way of gripping better.
It's hard to tell from the vid how quick it is, as I've viewed loads of similar Corsa Turbo vids on YouTube and you just think "yeah looks manageable" but onboard it's pretty mental lol.
So, next up is tyres and a diff...

Was going to say Tyres are the first thing to check, as well as suspension, how hard is it?
Diff would be a great idea as well.
Also was the map tailored for FWd cars? I seem to remember there being a boost limit on Phase 3.5 on C20LET stuff, been a while so i dont remember but is that a possibility?

Sounds awesome pal  . Would love to LET mine , my mate has one running 220bhp and that's quick enough !
I think 300bhp in a corsa that you use everyday is more than enough . Lad on ccuk "petrolheadmatt" has his running a garret gt28 and he's had nothing but problems since he's fitted . His is 379bhp and 380lb/ft of tourque and I've seen a few videos and it jus looks so hard to drive !
You got a progress thread for this mate ? Wouldn't mind seeing some photos of it

It would be really useful to have a limit in lower gears but Im not too sure, regal didn't mention anything. The other thing would be to have switchable boost. Not quite sure how'd I'd go about doing that though. I know they offer that on Astra's fitted with a Sport button.
Tyres are first though. Don't really want to spend out on R888's again though as they cost loads and last 5 minutes! lol

I think that guy lives in Reading aswell who has that Corsa. I've not seen it but I've heard from other people about it. Yeah imo anything over 250 is too much lol. And I need to get some proper pics up soon, I've not had the car long though and weathers been terrible so once we get sunshine I'll take some proper photos 
P.s. yours looks better than mine!

That's why I had a RStuning map on mine rather than a regal map, regals maps are too aggressive and not got drivability, on my RStuning map it was smooth and progressive and ran 292bhp 340lb/ft

Sounds like a sensible idea tbh. Not sure what box mine is running. It's 5 speed from an Astra H SRi.

Yeah this probably would have been a better option. Ah well. I'm sure I'll get more used to it over time!
