Yes, it will be a fair bit more
No, you just send the current one back with the new engine number on it and the new engine size.

Yup upgrading to a X16XE will make your Insurance premium rise somewhat, but on the plus size it seems to be quite an easy conversion, I have been considering it myself recently as my X14XE isn't running right and nobody seems to be able to diagnose the problem
