hmm thats not a bad idea! the first plan for this miglia was to fit my old turbo engine but make a janspeed style manifold to mount over the clutch rather then chop yet more holes in the bulkhead! so something along them lines but on the vauxhall lump would be quite cool i think...this projects getting longer and longer every time i post! :D
been looking for info on the 1.6's and from what i gather theres 3, the c16xe the x16xe and the x16xel the c16 being the best off the shelf power, the x16 in the middle and the xel bringing up the rear with a lower CR but i cant seem to find any info on what the lower CR actualy is?
will keep digging.

any of those 3 will be fine . c16xe pretty sure has a flow meter , others have a MAP sensor... but get the car running on any of those and they will all inter change at a later date
