well basicly i dont have much knowlidge on ither of the stated and am just looking for info.
stuff like wot is needed to get them to run properly.
and basicly the pros and cons with using ither of them.

i had thought about the turbo route but i think iits 2 much to go wrong.
and som1 on here made and intresting point that if i blow the engine on carbs or tb's i can just wack in a new engine for £150 and transfer the parts weekens work and a weeks wages and i am back on the road or in my case the track. :devil:

personally i would always go TBs, carbs are old tech, and forever need retuning to keep them at the top of their game :)

i no little about them both, but why would manufactures be making throttle bodies and not carbs anymore.. TB's must have more pros than cons in this instance :S :) ?

thank ypu guys.

looking at carbs they really are a well involved modification.
that require an experinced mind.

i think i am going to go with the throttle bodys.
as the only things i can see them needing is a good clean every 1nce and a while.
and a equal amount of air suply to each cylinder.
