turbo is cheaper and easier to do that throttle bodies and yes you get better bhp but now its too common look at the amount of 2.016v turbo corsa there are on here. If you want to be different go for throttle bodies..and believe me when you hear the throttle bodies sing there aint nothing like it and i mean nothing

hhmmmmm i think my 200bhp goal will either not happen or take some time! Might stick a turbo in there in a couple of years instead, although i prefer the idea of throttle bodies. :thumbs:
