If you have an EFI car at the moment then keep the EFI it is the better all round car than the turbo (and yes I own a turbo!). The EFI will also need more rewiring too than the carburetor car.www.maestroturbo.org.uk - The Tickford Maestro Turbo Register

I would guess the lower power output 2.0i is due to two things. The first is the cat which will rob some power. The next will be the fact it is tuned for unleaded 95RON fuel and the EFI was tuned for 97 leaded fuel and so will produce more power too.www.maestroturbo.org.uk - The Tickford Maestro Turbo Register

Yes the engine is the same, just the fuel it was designed to run on is different, so a different ECU and a different exhaust.www.maestroturbo.org.uk - The Tickford Maestro Turbo Register

The LXi will have a catalytic converter. This strangled the breathing of the engine and so reduced the power output. To counteract this all 2.0i engined cars were fitted with the close ratio version of the PG1 gearbox that had previously only been fitted to the MG and GTi models. This in turn affected the fuel economy. My 1989 2.0GSi estate was considerably more economical than its replacement, a 1995 2.0i Countryman.
