that is an x16xe because it says ecotec and it has a cast inlet.
the "real" gsi c16xe has slightly bigger valves

c16xe engine has an AFM to piss you off, but the x16xe has an egr valve to piss you off.

an x16xe with no sai and no egr with a ported c16xe head would be my aim

TBH, megasquirt is more like a collection of wires and capacitors than an ECU, but that's another thread, which we've already had and went on for about 213123532 pages
