Does anibody can help me, I live in Ecuador South America and I own a 1998 Citroen Xantia Turbo. I want to know if I can change the turbine for a T3/T4 and if I can install a front intercooler. Unfortunately, the only place that serves Citroen cars here is the dealer and of course that they won't change anithing that came originally in the car. My goal is to upgrade my car up to 210BHP without nitrous. I also have a BMW E30 and a Camaro SS. As you can see I'm a speed fan. Thanks for your comments.

Sooo... you must change pistons, shatfs, exactly, you must change everything because Xantia turbo is just CT, so everything is as by a normal atmospheric filling.
So it doesn't matter wich turbo you'll use, you must change almost everything.
Great site about changing atmospher filling into turbo is this .link.
This is not bussines JUST for Citroen service, any clever and handful engineer (mechanic) can do this...
I wish you luck, it's realy nice goal to do
P.S. Theoretically you can get over 240HP but it's risk because of car body's draught and brakes ( so ideal is install case-frame and stronger brakes).

Thanks Darja, Do you mean change originals parts for forged ones?. Do you know aniplace where I can find them?. I saw the web page but the places that they bought from sell only Peugeot parts, I know that Citroen and Peugeot are made by the same factory but almost no parts from Peugeot fits the Xantia Turbo CT.
Thanks a lot for your help. By the way are you from Finland (Suomi)?

that's good idea to try Peugeot but... The best thing is to find Peugeot 405 T16.. but... It's really rare car.. and change engine and turbo.. It's compatible with BX and wiht little changes I think with Xantia also. But get P T16 is almost impossible.
Do you know if Bx has the same engine block is the same as in Xantia CT?
You must change parts for forged.. the best way is to "make" them by some company, which is specialized at engine tuning.
It's hard and expensive way, but it's the best way for REALLY POWERFUL engine

If you need soemthing from me, pls don't hesitate to ask, my e mail is oscar.garcia@kuehne-nagel.com

isn't better just put inside 3.0 24v engine directly for Xantia and then do some modifications on this engine ? It have allmost 200hp in series.
