To get an inlet and all the work you may as well dump a 2.0 in.
Go for a x20xev, they can be picked up for peanuts 136bhp out the box.

I had a similar problem to you. I was told that the loom might need sorting out ie:altering........i thought feck that im gona try the Air flow Meter first........hey presto, it worked!
Others problems could be, idle stepper motor, coil pack and AFM as mentioned above. 3 common problems with the x12xe engines. Could also be the throttle sensor. Find a mate with the same engine and swop all the bits over i've mentioned above, clear the ECU and take it for a spin.......if your car is fine.......pin point the problem from there on.
