thats a bit confusing
but if what your asking is wether your 1600 will run with a 1200 back box the answer is yes
youve prolly still got the entire 1200 system on there cos running the GTE exhaust system with the 1.2i management would have resulted in melting the pistons due to running extremely lean since wihtout the lambda probe fitted to the original manifold the car would be fuelling for a 1200 not a 1600 :o
im running a 1.0 saloon backbox on me 1.4 and its fine
hmm very confusing and badly put Neil :lol:
I had a whole 1.2i exhaust system running on my 1.6 for about a wekk. no problems at all (just a bit restrictive)
