no, going to look at one,

it had a new turbo, but doesnt now if its a vxr one,

the standard turbo was superseeded to a vxr one, as it was half the price

if it has a vxr turbo, it can make alot more power!

Ah right thought you was ripping a newly aquired one apart already

Could you not get part numbers or something from work? Or look at one on a VXR and take a number or something

Easiest way warren is look for the part number plate on the turbo

LET is blue
LEH is pink

Easy to spot if your just viewing a car. Lots of people claim to have VXR turbo's

Some may even fit the VXR actuator with that sticker as they are ten a penny now.

It most likely is mate.

The plate is between the exhaust and turbo housing, on the turbo housing.

Hard to explain where it is but you can see it if you have a good look.

would have to spend £500 on wheels if not more

plus if someone has done that to the car, you dunno what else has been messed around with, and a garage selling that cheap, makes you ask questions

warren, as a tip from me, and all the others that have been there, dont buy a car that will do everything your project car can, but better

Makes perfect sense. Sell the Corsa project if buying the GSi. Would just make sense.

Sell everything and focus on the GSi. Few subtle mods and it could actually be alot better than a Focus RS. Why isnt a GSi going to be better than the B?
