If your serious, try looking at this website. The guy is from Brazil and does all the bits you'll need. He does sell an ECU which will run with 2 setups, one for on boost and one off. | |

it can be done the bodge way for minimal cash. Ie 5th injector, fuel pressure regualtor plumbed in with a pressure switch and spacer plate, 2 head gaskets for compression lowering. | |

£1k ish for engine, 204bhp out the box. But then you need to fit it. | |

how much would a LET engine cost roughly and whats the power out of one of these? | |

a C20LET would be cheaper than turboing the C16XE PROPERLY. If you just bolted a turbo and some pipes on, it would melt pistons. youd need to lower the compression a lot. | |

is it alot of hassle to go for the LET? what sort of power with them? an how much would you be lookin at for a decent one? cheers for the help. | |

You can turbo the 1.6 but reliability could be an issue. Probably more cost effective to transplant an LET in there. | |

Why not R2D2 to tap into the ECU? :) | |
