Throttle bodies are by far the most simple engine set-up possible. you also run them with fully mappable management and very little in the way of electronic rubbish, so if any problems do occur its very easy to find the problem and fix it. remember, c20let ecu and electronics are ancient now, new engine management is far more advanced. less to go wrong = more reliable. Ive lost count of people with c20let's that have had problems with missfires, low/ high idle, hesitation, boost problems, temp problems....... and no matter how long you search for the problem it never seems to go away until another probliem arrives. Just my opinion.:)

	A LET will be just as reliable as a tuned XE. People just seem to have this obssesion with putting buggered 15 year old engnies in thier car. What I would do is if you are thinking about a turbocharged engine with lots of power... Build a 2.0 turbo engine out of what you already have with new and uprated parts...

	id have a tb'd xe over a c20let any day. nice smooth progressive power and far more reliable. cheaper to run and maintain as well.

	A rebuilt C20LET with some uprated parts would be my choice with Phase 1 or 2 software. C20XE on TBs would be nice but you cant beat the performance of a C20LET

	Ok, ive got a corsa with a c20xe, but i want more power! Its either another c20xe fully rebuilt and rebor'd, with cams, tb's and p&p head! OR A standard c20let. I cant make my mind up. I think itll be pretty close on speed 'cos of doing so much to the c20xe and you dont have the turbo lag. But the c20let well its a turbo! :boggle: What do people think? :thumbs:
