I have a 2.0 SEH engine what are my options with regards upgrading the throttle body and what is involved in fitting/modifing it.
Thank Matty

I wouldnt bother mate unless you have done some decent headwork like cam, port polish etc as you will gain very little if anything at all.

^ sounds like a decent mod.
shame the throttle spindle snapped later on.

Only because it was machined down excessively. + Tom would have driven that harder & more than anyone is likelyto on here. Guy was a legend, back in the day.

The engine is SEH with polished and ported head and Kent AST14 cam running standard injection other than a FSE valve fitted.
