136 bhp as standard, differs from the C20XE engine in that the head design is different the ECU settings are different and a different cam profile is used, there is also the eco tec system
the white smoke could be signs of head gasket faliure although if the car has been stood for a while it could just be condensation,
the X20XEV is a decent engine and is a good alternative to the XE

depending on mileage when you floor it smoke could actually just be coke/carbon being bellowed out and on start up it being condensation.

ye seems fine once warmed up but when "booted" still pumps put the smoke, will give it another go, it has a straight through stainless and a pipes filter, unsure if this makes any difference to the car at all....
thanks guys.

hmmm maybe if its proper smoke there is something a bit dodgy.
I was thinking just a little puff or something when changing gear.
