Need a lot of parts that you may struggle to find as commonly like sensors etc that you need. Probably be easier to put it on mappable managment than trying to get hold of all the c20let ecu and sensors.

It's possible to do with xe loom ecu but tbh you'll never be able to run more than 8psi and will have to have air fuel ratio at around 10.5 as the pistons aren't designed for turbo application. Personally I'd sell the xe and just buy a c20let

I'd just enjoy the power of the Xe for a while. You don't wanna ruin the reliability. 150 hp is loads and they go very well. Then when you do get bored, look into tuning it. But from experience it's always best to get a conversion car running in standard form first to iron out any issues. Trying to modify it aswell just causes no end of troubles! So do it step by step.

keep the port and polished head and throttle bodies and use them on a turbo build.
