what do i go for the ?900 twin 45's and alpha management or the ?1500 throttle bodies and alpha management. also what happens with fuel pump on the 45's. throttle bodies are meant to be 180bhp so they say any dea what th e45's will do. these are if ftted to standard engine

not to have a go at the last post but carbs are far from shit. infact a lot of people prefer them to tbs. i like both personally but if i had the money id have tbs. they have there own sound.

i have 45s for my 2.0 8v and when you put your foot down the noise from them is awsome. the more tuned your engine is the louder they get.

whats wrong with my post if carbs were good touring cars etc would use them but they dont!
they use mappable roller/bodies as you can get far more out of them, carbs are abit past it imo go to sbd and get a hassle free set up!
