As everyone on here who's used a turbo will tell you, use Samco pipes, you can buy a set for 60 - 70 quid. Those pipes look bent to shape especially for the Corsa?? Bet it's only fractionally more efficient, even going at 100mph!

The beauty with IC's and radiators is it has one pipe going in and one going out, and as long as you can mount it, you can take one from any car and put it on another!

that intercooler looks tiny gazza! u want ur charge as cool as u can! a charge cooler would be a gd idea i think!

i think u could do with an intercooler on ur front end cause ur hot in them pics lol,

that intercooler aint exactly huge but he aint gonna be runnin stupid boost so his ACTs are gonna be relatively low,hi boost in a corsa will make it hugely undrivable

Who is 'HE'?...
i did say i was just wondering, aint got plans to do it

If something like this was going to be done, boost will alway be wound up, eds phase 1 chip and FMIC are a musy, you would be hard pushed finding a good calibra turbo without these basic mods.these should (i think) take the car to 230bhp to 240 bhp.

Stationmeik is the man to talk to as he is going the conversion himself.

i know a good way to get a C20LET to 350BHP for less then a few hundred quid

Opel - Vauxhall C20LET 350bhp up-grade kit(good oportunity for take off the old K16 unit for a new Garret T34 turbocharger and higher flow tubular manifold):

-External Wastegate £68
-Turbo Tubular carbon Steel C20XE/LET manifold £160
-Oil flange pipe for bolt in turbocharger(oil-out system) £8
-Oil flange nipple for bolt in turbocharger(oil-in system) £8
-Garret T34/525 series Turbocharger £300
-Braided pipe for oil £20
-Braided pipe for wastegate £15
-Niple for oil feed in oil pump £8
-Initial downpipe with elbow flange £25

Total of parts: £612
Packet weight: ~15kg

No-one has really bothered passing 300bhp on the LET yet as the internals and gearbox can't take it!
You'd need a new ECU and phase chips, larger injectors, etc on top of that, '350 bhp' is just an estimate to match what you've got ready for it. That alone would cost more than the above kit.

I know of a few guys on the calibrea site that have gone upto 400bhp on the LEt engine.

Shit that must be silly quick.

C20 LET phase 3 by any chance?

A good site:
