Is there any performance throttle bodies that you can get for an x14xe? 
 
Is there any point putting them on? How expensive are they brand new/second hand? 
 
and anyone thinking about selling some in the next few months? 
 
Thanks.

i dno bout it being easy lol im not fitting mine, all i know reali is that the altenator will need lowering, and to get the full power gains from them you will need a re-map, are you thinking bout getting a 1.4?
