IST Turnaround http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum83/HTML/001794.html

Lots has been written on these boards about the IST turnaround to maximise Miles but I can't find any threads giving peoples experiences of doing the same day turnaround. I am planning either a same day or overnight turnaround sometime in the next few weeks. Is it possible to stay airside and avoid customs and immigration and having to get a Visa? If not, how much is the Visa for UK Passpost holders and what currency does it have to be paid in?
If I do an overnight are there any reasonable hotels nearby or is it worth heading in to Central Istanbul?
