As far as im aware the C16XE has a plastic inlet, ir also has slightly more power.
I think they also have different driveshafts for when your doing engine conversion, on the GSI you dont need to change them, whereas on the sport you do.
That last bit may be wrong, but its something like that

Only the early GSi's came with the C16's, the later one's came with X16's.
The main difference between the X16's and C16's is 3bhp (C16 - 109bhp, X16 - 106bhp) the C16 is isn't ecotec, where the X16 is. That's all u need to know really.

Maybe in Holland the Sport is called a GSi and its just been registered in this country as a GSi.
