How much would i cost realistically to get a 2.0L Turbo put in my corsa b

I mean the engine gearbox uprated clutch all the new parts needed for the engine and all the parts i would need plus paying someone to do it

I wouldnt be modding the engine just filter and exhaust

So anyone know a realistic price

If i did an engine transplant i wouldnt bother modding the engine much cuz of reliabilty issues and plus would be fast enough!!!!!

But as you mention it Throttle Bodies does sound good!!!!!

Isnt that post a contradiction of itself. Your saying that the sound of a dump valve isnt worth a grand (even though you also get an extra 60 brake). Then you say get a 2.0 for a grand less, and then spend another £2k+ and fit TB's to get the smae kind of power?



Go for a turbo mate. Aslong as its a good engine, and you dont tune it, you should be ok

if i actually do go for the conversion in a couple of years, i am definately gonna go for the turbo route. Ive always wanted a turbo/dump valve, and in a corsa, it wud be sooo cool cos people woudlnt expect it at all!

For a 2.0 turbo......
ENGINE - £1500
GEARBOX - F28 (recommended) £300
PVD CONVERSION KIT - £800
NEW SUSPENSION - £???
BRAKES - £???
FITTING - £???
OTHER ODDS & SODS - ???

Someone can fill in the ??? for me as I'm not sure of those costs, but before those others that have no prices its £2600
