If you get one of these it requires only a live and earth to run spark on your engine, has a built in manifold pressure sensor and ignition map. 160 bhp would be achievable for a cost of only £5.80 per BHP.
chaffe strictly speaking i was going to go the turbo route first but i was finding it to be a very expensive one and so i decided on throttle bodies and maybe cams(in my opinion its more reliable),and for our roads which are very short distances i was of the idea of having no turbo lag at all
