I am working on my 206 gti project and am going to be using quite a few 406 parts.
I will be running the 406 SRI turbo engine, but am trying to make it a little different.
Apart from the complications.....does anybody know if it is possible to mate the 2.2 bottom end with the SRI Turbo head?

Why do a 406 turbo engine when you can just buy a turbo kit for your current motor.... your talking 220hp easily and they have everything you need:

Cost really more than anything. I was talking to them a while ago about the 406 v6 turbo conversion and it was quite expensive.
And I cannot see there being 2 many other 2.2 turbo 206's in the uk (if it is possible to bolt the turbo head to the 2.2 XE block)

As far as I am aware you can only use XU blocks with XU Heads and XE heads with XE blocks... but someone correct me if I'm wrong??

you are correct niz, only xu is compatable with xu and so on, if malachy appears i think he will also confirm this
