Phantom's Modified 2.0L 16V Ecotec

that looks really nice how much did it cost for throttle bodies

[Phantom]

throttle bodies and engine management was £1500 plus vat but you need to add the cost of fitting as the whole loom to the engine compartment gets replaced

tbh I hardly use the boot other than for coats or roadmaps, I'm sure people think I'm weird when I open the drivers door and push the seat forward to put the shopping in the back, but the whole thing is designed to come out quite easily

Yes that's the Dbilas one but for a little bit more you get a programmable ecu, without it you won't be able to get the most of the upgrade. Try having a look on the Omex and QED websites

I bought the 16V hoses made by Goodridge but you'll need a couple of copper washers for each one as the the ends that fit into the caliper are a lot smaller than the original ones and the screws bottom out
