I'm looking for a 2.0 litre Vauxhall engine (C20LET) with a turbo and the 6 speed F28 gearbox.

I had a look on Autotrader and was amazed at how few Calibra Turbo's where for sale on their and not a single Cav Turbo.

Are these engines pretty hard to get hold of?

The turbocharged Cavaliers and Calibras didn't sell in huge numbers, so the LET was always a much rarer beast than the normally aspirated XE. I'd suggest signing up to the Vauxhall forums (MigWeb/CavWeb) and checking the classifieds or posting a 'wanted' there.

300bhp/ton takea look at the newer astras. the SRI's and GSi's run the C20LET i do believe. the older engines lex or something was in the Cav/Calibras (or have i got that totaly mixed up?).

might be worth looking for the neweer engine. you can still get 300bhp out of them with stock internals and i think they bolt up.

what car are you planning on putting it in??

Speak to SBD or QED, they may have exchange engines available or know where to get one.
