probly with alot of money, time and effort. but why bother..............?
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

yes. but you'd need head gasket spacer plate, forged conrods and pistons, then it might be possible.
TURBO LAG IS JUST FOREPLAY ;)

depends on the boost! but the spacer would be needed,

upto 0.5 bar boost i dont think he would need pistons and forged conrods also depends on the turbo...!
