The power in the swap is not worth it m8 the 1.6 is not much faster really than the 1.4 i would say from friendly advice from m8s that the only big difference is the 10 mph on the top end and only 1 second to 60.
Buy a inlet from cossvaux for £350 and you will match there power.
cheers

Anyhow, the C/X16XE engine is far far superior to the X14XE in many ways. The whole way the engine behaves is totally different and much easier to get large power gains from. But it would make more sense to change to a 20XE rather than a 16XE.

the lad said insurance was a problem, and from his position modding his 1.4 16v is the most cost effective and insurance friendly way to obtain more power.....
