I used to have a C20LET'd Astra GSI. Was stupidly quick.... when i could get traction, which wasn't often.
My mate has an Astra GTE with a C20LET engine, running approx 330bhp, stripped out with cage, coilovers, V6 brakes, and a LSD.
On a sprint circuit he got exactly the same time as me in the WRX.... but at the time i only had 240bhp, 2 pot brakes, and a set of springs fitted.
(Basically great in a straight line, awful on corners)

mate of mine had a pug 106 turbo charged running 190bhp
rapid from about 40-90, would beat me in my uk turbo doing that
was embarrassing as i didnt know he was getting the conversion done and was following him one day and was surprised when he put his foot dwon and disappeared at hast, thought GTI;s werent that rapid at all, only when i saw him pull up on my driveway the following day and he let his dumpvalve rip that i realised he was no longer normally aspirated but running forced induction.!
