I have the exact same problems with my X14XE (although it's in a Astra), my old C14SE Astra seemed much better than my current one too, and that's saying something!

I've got a Powerflow exhaust, new cat, plugs, EGR valve, ICV, CTS, O2 sensor, still the same problems and it's still bloody idling at 550rpm!

Also, it only seems to have some kind of power to speak of after about 4000rpm?

ditto, 4000 - 5000 is like a kick up the arse, then it goes away, it seems as though its overfuelling a bit too. can always smell petrol outside the car
