well I was reading some info on the c20xe and how the guys from xtrac where tuning it and getting a very insane level of output from this NA engine. Now I almost sure that the C20xe has the same engine mount as the c20let. Now my big question is would it be worth the money or the effort to swap in a c20xe engine after it has been moded and possibly turboed or is that stupid and should I just get a C20let and rebuild it then drop it in?

c20let and c20xe are basicly the same engines...
c20xe if repared corectly will give you over 160hp. With some small mods like exhaust and inlet (powercap) and chip, you will recieve around 185hp on crank... And it's indistructable... If you want more, you can do it with ITB's and some other staff but it's expensive, and liftime of engine is reduced... You can go up to 250hp on crank without turbo...

And conversion to c20let is simple... I don't know english name for the parts that are different...

I think just swapping out the head with the turbo manifold on it will give you the c20let, I am still pretty new at this myself so I am still learning.

No, it have lower compression, so this means, you have diferent pistons.
Also difference is in, I don't know english word for that...
