no its more economic to not push your foot to the floor. if you do;t boost you don;t use petrol don;t matter what the boost is set to

Big turbo would be good for a Corsa. The turbo lag would be better for traction than a smaller turbo with no lag.

Not at all, because bigger turbo = bigger power when it does kick in so will just spin up worse! the 300zx proves this as the power of both at same time kicks in the back end goes slippy sideways regardless of whether i'm standing still the booting or driving along !

My RST had a T3 on, you get nothing until about 3500rpm then all hell breaks loose!! Was quality!! I had it spin its wheels in 5th on a wet motorway once when 14psi of boost came in. Teach me for putting shitty yoko's on.
