Alright mate...welcome to TorqueCars! The 1.8 Corsa's are good cars! How about supercharging or adding a turbo?

HI Owl and welcome to TorqueCars. Having another Wayne along is going to get confusing (I'm spelt WayNNe though!)

The 1.8 is a good package they are quite lively. The first mod I would do is to get the suspension sorted. The Sri is a bit bouncy for me. Piper do a good fast road cam which will help improve the top end power and should work nicely with the induction kit. The only other thing you are missing is a sports exhaust.

wont a turbo or supercharger be expensive?

and as for the sports exhaust iam not in to sporty exausts it looks nice as it is, i just want a bit of work doin under the hood to surprise people abit more and ur right about the surspension its bloody terrible!!!!!

Yes a supercharger or turbo will be expensive (I don't know how much), how about getting it chipped?

You could always have a silencer fitted on the exhaust.

The average cost of a turbo/supercharger kit is £3000 and to fit this properly you could be looking at another £1000 depending on the engine. It is actually cheaper to do an engine swap for a 2.0 Turbo and this will give more power than any bolt on turbo/supercharger. Chipping a NASP engine will not give very much in the way of a power gain.
