    Dont know if anyone has ever tried this? Probably find the engine itself is huge!!

    Citroen produced a Xantia Activa which was a 2.0 Turbocharged engine.

    Conversion possible? Maybe..

    Never know that specific engine fitted but people have fitted many of the other XU engines. Don’t think many people are still on this forum who have done it as they have been slagged off. The 205 forum can probably tell you a lot about fitting that engine to another car though. Then all you would have to do is sort out the main loom plug. After that its a normal XU swap more or less.

    I know auto-electrics.. so wiring is the easy bit for me.. its getting all of the mechanics sorted and the fabrication if required of mounts etc.
