hi guys i have had my frst for a year now and it is running about 190bhp which i am very happy with but after looking on the net i have the urge to get something with throttle bodies
i was thinking of a mk 2 xr2 with 2.3 out of a galaxy on to a rs2000 gearbox and throttle bodies to top it off.
do you think this would give about the same power and is it a good idea or should i stick to the turbo just want your comments guys

that would be good fun. even my 1.1 feels quick.

having seen a few vids of turbo'd fez's, they look like a lot of work, getting traction, getting out of first, and through second.

with that setup, the power delivery would be smoother and more equal than with a turbo. if you can fit it in that is.
