just wondering do you still need to send an engineer's report off with your log book to get the engine code changed?and is there any difference in tax?

Why would the engine code need to be changed? The engine should keep the same code only you have fitted a turbo to it. Wouldnt make any difference to tax anyway mate

Not really, you engine number is still C20XE, thats just what the manufacturer started the engine number off with to make it easy to identify. if you change the first letters to C20LET********* then you have basically made you own engine number up

Oh and you can tell the DVLA any engine number you like anyway as long as the capacity is correct, I know people with 123456789 I just told them I wouldnt read the number and I ended up leaving half the digits out

Strictly speaking your engine never will start with C20LET while you have that block, as long as your paying the right amount of tax for the engine size no one will follow it up
