Turbo's produce much more torque. A 200bhp tb'd xe is quicker than a 200bhp LET in the same car as the xe has a much wider power band, so can stay on the power for longer.

No, because tb'd cars rev to about 8k, making power all the way.

I heard the 1.4 could just about get that figure but the torque would be crap, i heard the 1.6 could reach just over 200bhp?!?!

SBD have had 240bhp out of a c16xe, not really drivable on the road though.
Torque on a 170bhp 1.4 16v would probably be about 120lb/ft at a guess.
