This statement is true about power but if the 1.6 is maintained correctly they are very reliable.

ive seen way more pics of broken 1.9s than i have broken 1.6s...
Are all three of you high? lol. 1.5's were the revolutionary dependable diesel in their day, how dependable are they really? Any feature that you can think of that makes a 1.6 reliable, the 1.9 has as well. Being the "next Gen" engine, it has all the good stuff from the lessons learned on previous years.

Come on, how many more rods have you seen through a block on 1.9s than you have on 1.6s in the last year on this forum? And 1.6s are way, way more common.Not to mention the crank nose issue. I'm not sure what all Banks does, but I know they provide aftermarket turbo kits, mainly for pickups.
