	If you are transplanting it you dont need to worry about the tbx as its only for the 4x4. Although if it works its worth £100-200. To check, without getting into all the ins and outs of it, just check that the 4x4 works well and you cant get it to wheel spin. I'd be more worried about the state of the turbo and engine as a whole if you want it for a conversion.

	HEY! Found a Calibra turbo for under a grand, engine is still in the car and running, he just wants rid of it quick! I'm told i should check the transfer box as they aren't cheap? Also, what else would i need for the conversion, i have an XE in my Corsa B at the moment........ Thanks for your help!
