they both have there advantages, the c16 hadnt got an egr valve and all this sai system, but most have high miles, where as the x16 is newer so could get one with less miles on it but has all the egr and sai system but i know they can be easily be taken off

no you wont have to change the fuel pump
only thing you will be changing is the ecu chip and transponder and obv engine

you will be able to use your loom as the x14 and x16 looms are the same, you will just need to use a 1.6 ecu,
