It would be pretty tricky to run a turbo on a the V6, the compression would need lowering. Better off using the C20LET, you can get any power you like out of that. (maybe not any)

would be far easier to get 300bhp from a C20LET...

and dare I say it might last longer than a turbo'd V6

Hi mate,
The V6 will work yes, as for Turboing the engine the GM V6 do not like Turbos mate they just melt piston 5 and 6 unless you spend silly money on them and even then you can not run much boost.
i did try to Turbo my 3lt v6 engine and it wasent worth it.

heres a pic of the turbo'ed 3lt V6

as i have said it will fit BUT you will need to throw about £3000 at the engine to make it work right.

TB and V6's work BUT again your looking at £3000+ for a TB kit and i am 75% sure they will not work in a corsa as the tumpets will have to be very very short to close the bonnet (thats the reason they are hard to get running right).

As for small Turbo yes you need to otherwise you will melt everything.
