Simple.... find a big truck.... and a nice corsa VXR.... drive over it and offer to buy the engine from the insurance companyPir0 wrote:A new/used turbo and manifold from a vxr/opc corsa would cost you an arm and a leg..
Ya.... unfortunatly I imagine they won't be easy to find..... but you never know.... sometimes wreckers have a hard time selling new car parts.
When the Suzuki Forenza first came out I found a damaged one and the wrecker was willing to sell me the motor for $500 because the car had only been out in the USA for a few months.
For some reason the Chevrolet Optra came out a year or so before the Forenza.... not sure why Canada got it first.
So... I got a nice U20SED engine with 12,000 miles on it for $500.
I doubt you will find the same in the UK.... but you never know until you try.
Who knows.... perhaps the manifold isn't that expensive..... doesn't hurt to check it out at a local dealer.
