I really dont see the point mate, Buy the time you buy the throttle bodies, manifold to fit to head, and management, you would be looking at more than what it would cost to put a bigger engine in. Tbh 40 webbers would be a better option.

With the amount you'd spend on the parts, you'd be just as well paying someone to fit a bigger engine over the weekend!

However doing what Kurt said will give you about 20bhp more.

There is no such thing.
Power costs money. And you say cheap power, but mention throttle bodies which on average cost 2grand for a complete setup...... not exactly cheap

And a bigger engine is always the best option.

Tb's on a 1.2 would be crap, youd have to find a very small throttle size to suit the engine size, and the gains would be fook all imo because the standard head is so poor flowing.

on a 1.2 8 valve your not going to see any decent gains unless you change the engine. even with doing what kurt said it will gain about 20bhp but that will take it from about 40bhp to around 60bhp so not worth the effort IMO
