I would echo what RS Grant said though,
The z20let is a pretty good lump to be fair and vauxhall don't make a bad turbo motor tbh,their pretty tuneable as well.
Not knocking the audi motor either,total crackers I love them.
Having said that my boss in works one turbo just let go at 87k and has made a mess of the engine so you get bad of both.
I think the boy with the Audi who now has the Astra had the better deal,you can get those audis for about a grand,£500's of wheels off eBay,same on a kit and your away.
