I've always wondered why people don't turbo xe's? Has to be a reason for it? Wouldn't mind it myself tbh if it's possible no point if your straying into let money doing it though..

Block and head are the same casting... you just need to drill and tap an oil return in the block for the turbo, the space is there for it. Also there is a grub screw where the oil feed connects up on the black so just remove that. Pistons are different compression, and cams are different. Also the obvious is the ECU which contains the map sensor for boost control.

If you were just planning on running a standard LET at standard power then it would be cheaper to buy a standard LET than rebuld an XE to a LET spec.
