Aparently Vauxhall made 5 1.8 8v turbo astra mk 2
and 5 2.0 16v turbo astra mk 2 , both around B plate.
Made both to see which was better for power and the driver
aperently the 1.8 turbo was too much in those days, thats why we got the c20let
Any1 got any info ??

They well have made some prototypes but I'm not aware of anything standard with turbo power in that model, certainly not in this country.

There were C20LET mk3 Astras in South Africa though. Called a 200ts.

And therefore not Vauxhall....

They wouldn't normally subcontract jobs like this to a tuner although companies like MSD/888 have been involved more recently.

Lotus Nova wasn't a Lotus, it was just a 20xe nova with Lotus badges
