alright lads + girls
names andrew and i live in derby, am 18 and drive a 1.0 12v red corsa, lowered 40mm, tsw 16" catalunya alloys, gsi spoiler, front splitter, debadged + bump stripped, ripspeed carbon intake box, cat-back exhaust + 4" jap can. plans are to get a gsi kit on it, or just colour code the bumpers + arches. Engine wise i was either thinkin of stickin a t2 turbo on it for a bit of fun or a 1.4 16v engine, either way would be rpoducing same bhp but the 1.4 probably be more reliable without the "pssssshhhhhhhhhh".

Turbo on a 1.0 12v would redefine the meaning of the word "pointless", in my opinion......if you're going for a transplant, why not drop a 1.6 16v in? 2-litre would be a bit painful on insurance, if you could find cover, leave that for when you've built up some no-claims.
Oh, and welcome to CS!

Welcome to CS like plans but the turbo conversion is a touch silly and I doubt you'll get any tish as it'd have to be quite a low boost jooby if you didn;t want it to die, plus it wouldn't produce 90 bhp imo.

Cataluna wheels are sex on a stick, been thinking of repalcing the dares with these, any pix??
And dont turbo a 1.0l, the cost would be silly and i dont think those engine would be designed to take the immense heat and would probably just melt
Get an LET

welcome to the forum, but the turbo idea is kinda pointless. drop a 1.6 or 2litre in it that will give u some "boost"
