should not be too bad getting to it all with the engine out. but i tried to get my inlet manifold and throttle body off my c16xe when the engine was still in the car, and it was a right pain in the arse to get to.

Are you off to PV2003? If so I will show you my engine. Or U2U me your address and I will send you a photocopy of the feature.

The biggest pain is removing the old inlet manifold, sorting the throttle body and all the breathers!

its the xe mate from a corsa gsi

which 1.6xe do you have? xe or xel?

it wont fit the xel (from astras).

in wot way is it a bitch mate, wot dus it involve? removin old inlet manifold? throttle body?

It is a bitch to fit, but is possible aided by a Haynes manual and plenty of patience!

I had my TT fitted by Velos, as it was featured in the VxlSCC magazine HPm for a fitting guide;)

Got the plenum on mine, fitted by velos though.
Torque tube should give 20bhp.:!
They supply all the gaskets i think!
Would be a lot easier to do with the engine out of the car as the old inlet pipe is a git to remove!
