Corsa C|UK regard it as the best one to have.
I don't know the in's and out's though tbh - speak to Nick on here (GSi16v) - he owns one and had the 1.3 previous to that

Close friend had one, and then sold to another friend so have alot of experience.
Good mpg, 45 with some teenage driving included knocking about town
Was just as quick as my 1.4 sport with exhaust and filter mods all the way to stupid speed.
5 Stud as said so can put some nice wheels on it. Very cheap to insure. Brilliant car tbh, i would have one tomorrow.

i'd expect it to stay with your 1.4, they're 125bhp standard.

i'd happily swap my 1.4 SRi for one. One of vaux's better engines, tune well, economical. Not exactly slow and 5 stud!

I was under the impression you can't map them cause they have a denso ecu or something

no there not! tuneing boxes only up the fuel pressure, were as a remap will up the boost pressure as well and that cant be done on the 1.7s denso ecu.
