Turbo or Throttle Bodies
Hello there new member here, just got hold of a lovely black si with 2l conversion and have spring/summer plans for more power
so seeing [ERRR] you lot reckon - throttle bodies or turbo
car already has cossie brakes coilovers and erst gearbox with lsd
At the mo im swaying towards the turbo route as im impressed with the examples on here ( Heemans is rather nice ). and the fact i got 1st dibs on a T3 Stage 3 as well
Thanks for any replies

the car in question wouldnt happen to be keneth's car would it, from sheffield? description sounds close
I'd go turbo option, it's easier and cheaper to get high power out of them

im currently building a throttle bodied zetec with lairy cams ect ect, if you use bike throttle bodies and st170 manifold you can use throttle bodies on a budget, , i chose these instead of a turbo because it is easier, cheaper and more reliable,
let us know either way!
