Don't think the gains are great as standard 8-valve is 100bhp and 16v 109bhp. But the C16XE should never be left standard, it was made for throttle bodies

the C16XE is roughly the same power as the C16SE only because of the stupid inlet change that crap out and you should be looking at a nice light weight high revving 16v engine with around 120-125bhp

i might know some one who has one of these. i sold them the engine about 3-4 years ago which was out of my gsi, he put the engine in and it runs but no to good. needs some tlc and a bit of knowledge. think the problem is the wiring. its been sat in his garage since the engine was put in. i will try and get some more info and see if he wants to part with it.
