Fuel economy on a TB setup is far better, as is transient fuelling, with petrol prices how they are at the moment, thats a big deal.
Its also FAR easier to get the WOT fuelling correct throughout the entire rev range on TB's you can have it literally perfect everywhere, with carbs you cant.
Carbs work well for a peak BHP figure, but they are massively more compromised at other load points.
