    TB's are cheaper even with the custom manifold etc, also I think BHP per $ would be better than the charger. Although the sound of a charger whistling and chirping is something I miss!! (but not the repair bills )

    Throttle bodies it has to be, been looking at different setups i.e motor bike carbs etc, looks like it will be the Jenveys as they offer the most bhp gains. Just gotta deceide on what cams and how much head work, and if the bottom end needs improving etc etc. Gonna need some advice i think?!

    Cheers guys will give them a call this week but not because I like the fish pie, much prefer the grilled Just checked out the vw 16v kit looks like high quality stuff. Defo worth a comparing to Jenveys.

    i really would be carefull with iTB's, you need to find someone who can set them up correctly. If i remember correctly 'valver' spent LOADS in getting his sorted back in the day.

    Save cash, go for twin weber 45's

    but TBH, a sorted head and say some 268 or 272 cams, 4 branch manifold and tidy exhuast and you should be seeing 180bhp and still get great fuel.
