Im hoping to do one at some point, well a LET in a nova instead of a corsa. Its on my list of things to do.

Ive worked it out and ill be looking around £5000 from start to finish including a good GTE/GSi as a base. yes it can be done cheaper but i think you'd need £5000 do to a proper turbo with the right bits in my opinion. Of course for an XE nova/corsa you can knock £1000-£1500 ish off that in my opinion, but you cant scrimp and scrap if you want a proper one that will last a while and not rip itself apart after 10 miles.
