I'm finding that the 1.9L is quite a different engine than the 1.6L. I think for daily driving and maybe even autocross racing, where the revs can get fairly low in a tight turn, a 1.9L is great as it has a good whallop of torque down low, especially if you're using one of the smaller turbos. Having said that, I think the higher-revving nature of a 1.6L would be better as a highly modded drag racing engine. I haven't (yet) eplored the revability (a new word for the dictionary) of a knife-edged-crank, lightened-rod & flywheel  1.9L  but I get the feeling that the 1.6L would still have it beat.
