If you've got the time and money to do both you shouldn't even need to ask

Tbh im swaying toward the Dbilias conversion purely because of the power gains (i've seen 230+ on standard z18xe's) and i cant see an xe getting near that sort of figure without spending more than £500. I have thought about a c20let but i cant justify spending £1000+ on an engine that could be shagged + rebuild, mounts, shafts ect when i already have a strong engine with decent potential...

thought they was fetching more than £500 even 2nd hand but will still be cheaper than a c20let by the time you have brought and rebuilt the let.warren g would be the man to ask really on turbo'd 18xe1/z18
