Hey all,

ok...after speaking to a few people. I've definately decided TB's are the best option. But nobody seems to be able to tell me exactly how much they'll cost to buy and get setup?

Can anyone assist

I read of someone counting their receipts that came to just over £3k to get a basic NEW throttle body kit and appropriate strengthening bits to his XE.

Think it made 208bhp.

Put aside at least £2500 for parts, gaskets, etc etc..
