Hi all
Just wondering, when people replace the turbo it's always for a gt1446.
Would a turbo off a corsa vxr work for example? What are the limitations of fitment? (I'm an idiot with cars, turbos, anything really!!)
 
1446, td04 etc are the classic (known/safe) choices. None of these are a direct fit though. You need a modified exhaust manifold, downpipe oil lines, injectors etc.

And of course a good tuner.

Ahh right. Not quite as simple and cheaply doable as I thought then. :(
Shame as td04's are cheaply available recon!! Also a massive shame no one does a manifold adaptor or a cheaper down pipe for alternative turbos.
 
You can find manifold adaptors for td04 but you still need a new downpipe etc
