id prefer a well set up tb'd engine that a standard LET, especially in a corsa.

a lot lighter
more responsive
better sound
less to go wrong
more progressive power

but thats my opinion

I'd go LET, can easily upgrade for more power(phase chips)
And a shed load more torque, and the power is at a road friendly rpm range.(i.e. not 7/8k)

Cams, headwork, rebore, strengthening combined with higher rev limit, manifold...
You can apparently get 290bhp from the XE, but that would not be suitable for road use by any means. Mine should be around 210bhp, thats as far as i wanted to take it (and could afford to ) for day to day use.

I would go LET every time. Why spend shit loads getting TB's, then the management and everything else to go with it when you can spend less and get 204bhp standard?

And I can't see how they are A LOT lighter either. Bang an F20 on the LET and they are practically the same weight, apart from the turbo. And who wants more progressive power? You want to put your foot down and have all hell break loose! And if you learn to drive the LET properly you'll be going places a lot faster than the C20XE without going through tires.

Just my opinion.
