And you can run the LET management etc... on them ok, you\'ll need the ecu, loom and all the sensors.

With LET pistons on in there on a 20NE you could run up to 300BHP and the bottom end shoudl hold together using phase chips, or go with a standalone management set up, but that would be abotu Â£1000 all in and running, but for th emoney offers much more than the LET stuff would. Or for Â£1000 just buy a complete LET.

You\'l need a header for the turbo yeah.

If you want to be different it will certainly cost you a bit more, but will be worth doing, you can limit the cost buy limiting the engine\'s power.

If you reduce the engine\'s CR down to 9:1 using a head spacer plate then you\'ll be able to run 1 bar of boost easily enough. But you\'ll need mppable management for this, which add\'s Â£1000 straight off inclusing mapping, and you\'ll need to be pretty good with wiring to get it all puyt together.

I was close to doing this, but couldnt justify the cost of it all, with no where to race it, so I went with TB\'s instead. You can make 190 out of a 1.6 for around 3-4 put in the right places.
