I'm not sure but is the XSi box the same as the Xsara VTS box? If so I think you'd likely end up worse off.

There was spreadsheet or something on the forum a while ago with the ratios etc of different boxes. Not sure if it's still around but it's worth a look if you can find it.

the xsi box is very short if you ask me. Ive got an xsi and its very high rpm at 70 in 5th with very little change over the revs in 4th at the same speed.
The spacing between some gears (3rd and 4th) does seems a bit wierd though and not in a good way,.

If you're wanting more acceleration I'd be looking for a 1.6 GTi box. IIRC Smighall was running one on his 205 which was equipped with an RS engineSmile

as said you want either the 1.6 or 1.9 GTi Gearset with a 4.4 or 4.8 CWP, The latter is 90mph at 6000rpm
All housed into a VTS case
