    Default Mk4 astra gsi.

    Been looking at these for a bit but can't find a decent one . I know they have a few issues ie valve stems turbos ect. Anyone own one or had one? Opinions appreciated

    The issues they have is most were owned by dickheads who brayed the bollocks off them and never maintained them

    other than turbo and stem seals and odd sensor they are a good car, the F23 gearbox is good and causes little trouble compared to the m32 6 speed box, if you are on facebook check out the page z20let lovers. the GSI is getting rarer by the month as so many are been broken for parts.

    i have a forged z20let astra coupe with a ko6 and running about 320 bhp.

    Crap engines

    Unreliable
    Cheap tat
    Full of common faults
    Standard turbocharger couldn't blow out a candle
    Intercooler might as well not be there
    Boost solenoids fall to bits
    Stem seals are crap
    Oil feeds block up

    But I loved mine when it worked
