has anyone had any experiance with these? been looking on there site and this is what they say about them
Courtenay’s have announced a complete engine management and fuelling system for the Vauxhall/Opel 2.0 16v engine. The multi throttle Alpha Engine Management System controls both the fuel injection and ignition requirements in a fully integrated package. The kit includes two Alpha throttle bodies, lambda sensor, air filters, inlet manifold and a complete fitting kit.
The kit will increase the original 150 bhp output to 180 bhp, but the benefits go far further than just extra power. The car will be perfectly suited for day to day driving on the road even if a wild cam is fitted thanks to an excellent idle control valve. The car will be docile and reliable around town, but with power to spare on the open road or on track days and with winter coming, cold starting won’t be a problem. This highly tuned car will start just like a standard model.
The Courtenay Alpha Performance Kit retails at just £1762 including VAT and can be supplied fitted for just £2100 including VAT.
is that worth the money?

Jenvey are better.
I nearly bought Weber Alphas for my 1.4, put the deposit down and everything, but the place wanted to charge me more 
After seeing the quality of Weber ones and Jenvey's similar parts, I'd go for the Jenveys.
