    The Corsa GSi with the C16 XE are 109BHP,
    Corsa GSi with X16 XE are 104 BHP
    Astra/Vectra X16 XEL are 100BHP

    Main restrictions on all engines is inlet manifolds and can all reap great gains with changing to other systems.

    Dont bother with powerbox's they are false economy and you will regret it.

    Right is the c16xe inlet the plastic one and will it fit the x16xe head or are the ports the wrong shape? my engine dont ''bork'' and i think its because on the inlet. iv got a corsa gsi inlet off the x16xe, will this make a difference compared to the astra one?
