Are you talking about just fitting the turbo from the Saab? I don't get the 'saab turbo' bit? They're not made by Saab. Often Garrett but sometimes Mitsu.

Yes, sorry a TD04 turbocharger from a SAAB 9000 Aero |

Should be nice enough. Get a fairly good 250 out of one of those.

Had a couple of Corsair's as a teen back in the day. Always fancied another. This should be great fun with boost. |

Has your Corsair been in any magazines before? I'm sure I've seen it in one somewhere....those Revolution alloys ring a bell.

Why are these corsairs left out/forgotten all the time? They're so cool!
My dad had one when I was very young I only briefly remember the baby blue colour.

The modern style paint job and wheels suit it well and looks great from the side as above. From other angles the old-style interior spoils the look. Some modern grey bucket seats with head restraints would look really good.

Very nice Corsair mate, I really like these.
Turbo'd Zetec should be very handy too.
Get some more pics up.
Edited to say, those banded Citroen steels look awesome!

This is just sheer raunch...!!! The Corsair shape is a thing of beauty and what you've done with this car is just spot-on. I cannot wait to see it progress...
