mi16 produces similar bhp figues to an xe,standard and tuned i think. pug will probably handle better so i would get the 205

but on a track it'll be getting hammered...
rebuild after each outing? 
Much more practicle, and prob usefull to get a low model, strip it and Mi16 it

mate had a turbo 205 (not sure what engine tbh) soon blew it up..
decided on the 1.9 engine, 1.6 gear box and a set of carbs. still goin strong and his mates mi16 engined 205 cant pass him either strong engines and very very fast!
