A few questions. Been reading about a power cap.

What exactly do they do, and how are they fitted

is it the manzel powercaps you\'ve been reading about?
there a replacement for part of the air intake which improve airflow and add between 5 and 10 bhp depending on the engine

Powercap is for 20XE\'s

you can get the Mantzel Powerbox (rarely) or dbillas inlet manifold for your engine stu

The powercap smoothens the airflow slightly into the inlet on the 20XE engines & gives a lil bit more power (4-5bhp)

Mantzel/dbillas will see more like 15bhp on yours

a manzel power box for the x16xe/c16xe and x14xe engine basically removes the standard inlet pipeing and move the throttle body to give a more difect route for the air to flow into the head, genuine power gains of Â£20bhp in some aplictaions (c16xe) well worth it! bu be quick there aint many left!
