hahaha, been covered a million times over on mig this mate,

you will need a fair ammount parts and unless your uprating all the oparts anyway, it works out cheaper to buy a decent LET

off the top of my head you will need

tophat
turbo
IC
loom
ecu
injectors
mechanical dizzy
turbo oil feed and return
boost pipework
LET pistons
LET rods

possibly the throttle body and tps

that may not be the full list, do a search on migweb for XE to LET and youwill find loads of threads mate

cheers

you will also require the LET cams or atleast the exhaust cam and a vernier pulley to dialout the overlap o the xe inlet cam

i heard the rods were the same as xe rods, just the compression ratio of the pistons thats different..?

[Philsutton]

the rods are the same, just the pistons are different.

Also the valve springs and valve seats are different between the two and you have extra sensors, to name a few:

Hot start valve,
Amal valve,
Air intake temp


ect.....



To be honest its cheaper an easier to go an buy a let as let parts hold their value very well.
