    The parameter while of course not the only one is important because the narrow space in PSA engine limits the size of valves.

    The reason why they stay with it is simple - they don't have any other choice.

    I would say Tidemand (he is EVEN driver), because there will not be factory cars Tidemand must use private car.

    My first spontanious impression. And we all know his potential. Never said the car is especial for him, only interesting seeing him drive the car in rallies. Let´s wait and see.

    The intake, exhaust, turbo, cooling etc. are replaceable parts, it could be optimized as needed, but engine block is main part, part where you start. if you get "wrong" block, you can optimize it whatever you want - it still be worse engine. Also decisions can be wrong.
