[quote][i]Originally posted by Daimo B[/i] XE' turbo is a great engine. Unlike the LET, you go straight for the better manifold, turbo. Chances are with a LET you have to buy the uprated internals anyway, so go straight ahead and buy a cheaper XE, and buy the better parts. Im sure all the BIG big power turbos are actaully XE's converted. Im "fairly" sure the one in South Africa (Mk2 astra) is an XE, and im fairly sure the Mk4 astra in brazil was an XE too. Its something I looked at, and would have gone for turbo'ing an XE. I think you need to drill a few oil ways in the block, but a proper machinest can do it. If your planning on properly tuning the 2.0 16v as a turbo, IMO, its the better basis to start with. A damn site cheaper to buy, and u've got to buy all the performance parts for the LET anyway, save £1k, get the XE. IMO. ;) [/quote]
