i dont know about the c16xe mate, as mine's an x16ex. i think the c16ex one is more exspensive than the x16ex due to you having to buy the extra lower inlet as well in the package

Brosters car is very quick - you can really tell the difference compaired to my Stock GSi.

The main advantage of tuning a 1.6 16 is weight...........

The Disadvantage (when compairing to a 2.0 16v) the 1.6 will never be able to put out the Torque figure of a 2.0 16v

basically the only adjustment on a cam is from tooth to tooth no inbetween, the veriniers have 4 allen key bolts on them which when loosened allows you to turn the sproket between teeth so its perfectly timed in to optimum running

yeah i belive so that is the purpose of them, fine tuning the timing to perfection
You can advance and retard the timing on each inlet and exhaust cam
