Hmmmm - corsa with what looks like 2.0 Red Top, Turbo, Direct Port gas, tubular manifold - 2 dump valves (either big boost or just for gayness) - Front mount intercooler - big oil cooler...

Yeah. Could be quick

TBH the whole nitrous install looks a bit pants really from the point of view of actually working rather than just looking pretty the amount of phase change going on in that kit is going to be horrific, but im sure it still manages to work ok and the rest of the engine looks good
