he has spent rather a lot. its the little bits that add up though, like 10 quid on an FPR, 500 on a head, 360 on a manifold etc....

i dont know the exact figure, but its well worth the cash IMO

I'd love to go out in it, I really could make my mind up then, weather I wanted a 2.0 16v or to tune the X16XE. His times kinda put me off at PVS tho.

didnt lucky b's old car run for miles?

and im sure there are at least a few XE's on migweb running throttle bodies which have been doing so for years!

generally... The question of reliability is all down to the managment and the person mapping it, as well as the engine builder - (if it gets screwed together wrong, or not measured up to the thousandth its never going to be 100%)

Same with any tuned car really...
