I really want to do it and from my research heres what ive found

PRO: You now have a turbo and therefore you are cool.
CON: When your engine blows in a few days you are no longer cool, but in fact you are left out of pocket and very upset.

Go fo a c20let if you want a turbo as it is an engine made for a turbo

Sorry for being a bit blunt about it but imo its not worth it and i have spent awile reading about turboing the corsa b

They can handle a small turbo fine but as stance said trying to run big power without upgrading the internals and that's not going to leave much change from 10k and by then your into s15 price

Pros: turbo noise and beating vtecs

Cons: well bar price and the risk of cooking your engine none

Your looking at getting a glanza turbo and run low boost till you take it to a dyno and get it set up to a safe non engine blowing level

A garrett t2 turbo is what you would need, but on stock internals you would probably still kill your car on 0.5 bar and whats the point of having a turbo with such a low boost?
