back in 2003 saxos were still fairly new so noone wanted to fuck about with them too much, plus parts were mega money, a secong hand 16v lump was over £1k
i know of 7 ax turbos, 2 of them are no more, one is coming to me to be made road worthy and 2 of them i have built lol
noone puts the same money in to an ax as they do a saxo/106 as there too old
i think when i did my ax, bucky had done a saxo and prism had done a 106 and that was it

The reason saxos dont look right on big wheels is because of the arch profile. When the days of big kits were rife small wheels wouldnt fill the arches, and thus look shit.
Remember the tarmac spec saxo was on 17s iirc.

Xsara lump is a very tight fit, espec if you want to turbo it.
The ones I saw (gti-6) in the 106s down at pug P had to have non OE headlights for example as the standards the rear sections were too big lol.
The engine was also tilted at a fair angle due to the sump and had big wheels.
