The reason I ask you see is because the trusty old XE conversion is a bit common and boring, it is very cost effective. You could spend thousands tuning an X14XE and it still wouldn't match a C20XE out of the box.

look half way down this page, there is exactly the same question. i wouldnt waste my money on a 1.4 as you get no power unless you spend ££££. inlet is a 3/4 hour job if you arnt to mechanically skilled.
