heres the bottom end differences.
http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=371770

head has different cams.
sensors loom ecu and obviously turbo down pipe and inlet up to the throttle body which is also different


you can do it on a buget with a turbo,manfold intercooler, thicker/double headgasket fuel pressure regulator, injectors inlet pipes,downpipe, oil feed and return pipes, relocate the afm put a one way valve in the small rocker cover breather and blank off the big breather on the tb and run the other end to a catch tank.

oh and it'l run like a bag of shite off boost and billow black smoke everywhere but apart from that ok ish. will get away with about 10psi boost. more than that and it WILL pink.

From what I've read on here its better to completely swap the engines as the internals are different, just the same casing.

Mouting should be the same though...not sure about the gearbox

f20 gearbox will be ok for turbo'd xe as you wont see anything over 250lb/ft i wouldnt of thought. run a f20 on a proper turbo engine and it'l last no more than a few months.
