i can get a C20XE, gearbox, loom, ecu for 280 quid. done 100k.

i bin told it would be easy to add a turbo to it. is this true?

i have a 2000 corsa sport 1.4 16v would that be a single or multi injection as i was told that i would need to change the fuel tank if it was the wrong one. any truth in this?

if i bought that what kits would i need to buy to make it fit? any links?

also anyone got any 2.0l brakes for sale?

i think you just change the fuel pump

i dnt no if u can turbo the c20xe to make a c20let

you get the kits from tuning companys

Off the top of my head, you'll probably need the LET head (maybe pistons) as the LET uses a different compression ratio to the XE. Not to mention you'll need the turbo downpipe, the ECU will need remapping, you'll need an even more uprated fuel pump, probably uprated injectors.
