yea there dont seem to be many about i spose its cause turbo are easier to get big power from and throttle bodies cost a fair bit.

Im consdering what to do on the inlet side of things on mine, the choices ive got are trust electrical inlet, focus inlet, or throttle bodies. only thing about bodies is that i would need a whole new management system which puts me off cause of cost really

yer that is a good thing that unlike turbo's they will last and last. If i could get it running i would try but i cant . So im gonna try teh t.e inlet on me track car and see if it actually runs with it then wack it on mine if its all good. If not 2.0 focus inlet is the only thing left.

Then you need 4x trumpets ( i've got 3 length's for mine, 19mm, 45mm and 90mm ) a fuel rail and a throttle linkage and thats the start of it

really struggling to deside now,
turbo seems the obvious, sensible, more benifitial route.
all of which is as much a down side an up :(
