as far as i know, you can have the standard one machined out and a new butterfly made up, but i doubt it would make any difference without the mantzel stylee inlet

The 1.6 8V engine in Nova GTE/GSI's (+ other 1.6 8v's no doubt) has the same fitment throttle body as the 16v engine. You'd have to do something with the ICV and TPS though.

oooow would that inlet manifold on ebay give similar sort of gains as the mantzel one???
also if you have a c16xe you need more parts like the lower inlet manifold!
but it does say in the add to contact him on that matter
"corsa808" will you be selling/making anymore??
