i have got the throttle body fitted, the problem i have is the cable, i bought a new gsi one but it was almost double the length of my std one, so i had loads of snag in the cable so was just wondering which is the best way to run the gsi cable i have now as it is only about a foot longer then my std one

A c16 tb is a different fitment to a x16 too, i think the bolts it uses are different.

Which engine do you have then? lol
X16xe throttle cable just goes by the upper inlet

well i have now a std x16xe and a std c16xe and the c16xe throttle cable is about a foot longer, as im going to be fitting this to my car can anybody tell me the route they are meant to go, so it doesnt snag?

Because a c16xe has a different throttle body, and a different throttle mechanism.
So its throttle cable goes into the front side of the tb, instead of the top on a x16xe.

is there any way you could make the one from the x16xe with the linkage from the c16xe as there different?

I think it may be routed around the inlet differntly as they are different on the two engines...........
