C20LET bragging right maybe. Turbo is a novelty.

hmmm, if it was C20XE vs TB'd C16 i'd say the C16....I'm only going down the 2.0 route because its cheaper....But comparing it to the LET, i'd have to go for that i think!

Enspcially when you get more power at less revs as standard from a turbo lump ROFL.
Its like comparing a flymo with a small carb to a giant sit on beast you can cruise your garden in..... no contest ROFL

i supose it would depend.... if somebody said here ive built these to cars which one do ya want... i'd take the LET....
if i were building them myself the c16xe.... as much as i hate the gearbox i'd take that....
the LET is to much work...

c20let isnt realy too much work. out the box 204bhp etc etc sheer tourque is immense even on a std engine.
only comment i have to make is how many people have let's that have broke, are broken, running a bit crap etc compared to tuned c16xe's.
on that basis if it was to be an every day car id go for the 1600 16v on tb's. 2nd car/toy then c20let

C20LET on TB's with a dumpo valve innit
Once you've had a car on TB's you'd miss the sound too much, I'd love a LET but I'd have to have another Corsa to put it in

i dunno like, the mad ass loud scream of a turbo is kinda a cool noise aswell. tb's are a force to be reconned with on the noise front though

let, as a highly tuned 1600 will not cause problems as such, but a modded engine is likley not to last as long, and u wont get the same power/feel out of a highly tuned 1600 as u will from a let,
BUT ...
its your drag m8, s'up to yourself no1 can tell ya what to do
