If they where both the same price, and offered same reliability......then i would choose the 2.0t conversion, because its got more cc - more room for further tuning too.

the only advantage of a 1.6 Turbo would be individuality.

so they told you the 1.6Turbo would be better but didnt give a reason? hmmm personally if I was tuning a 1.6 id go for the TB route.

2ltr 16v turbo is obviously the better route since its 200bhp as standard. the 1.6 is around 100bhp. so your gonna need to find anothe 100bhp before your equal bhp wise with the 2ltr. And being a 1.6 you'll still loose since the 2ltr will have more torque (and wont blow up!!)!

depends on how big ur wallet is, as u can make a 1.6 turbo as quick as a standard c20let if u have the cash, but yeah i reckon the c20let will be more reliable

true m8 - but one of the downsides of fitting a c20let is the weight of the engine. with a 1.6 u wont need to put custom shox/springs on as the weight will roughtly be the same as factory

but if your going to have a 200bhp 1.6 you wont want standard shocks n springs as that would be dangerous. you can use normal sport shocks and custom springs are no more expensive then normal lowering ones. You'll also find that most lowering ones are stiff enough to handle the bigger engines. My -40mm GMax shocks n springs hardly budged (less then a cm) when I stuck a 2ltr in.
