What would be the average cost of an 2.0l turbo engine transplant
into my nova 1.2 carb?

and who should i go to

standard LET is 201bhp ( i think) if you go to regal or something like that it will cost you around 3500

thats cool can i tune it much? ive seen novas saying the push 270bhp
is this gainable?

would i be better going for a 2.5 turbs from a calibra?

or would it be too heavy for the car

Calibra turbos were 2L just like all the other LET engine'd Vauxhalls.

I think you're getting confused with the 2.5L V6 Calibras - they weren't turbo'd though.

Vauxhall only make one turbo'd engine and thats the 2 litre (C20LET).

The calibra came in 4 engine choices.

2.0 8v
2.0 16v
2.0 16v Turbo
2.5 24v V6
