TB's yeah..
mantzel - 400 or so
cams - 350+
unichip - 400
headwork - 500
bout the same..
but there are quite a few hidden extras that always pop up... i.e paying for fitting, sunderies, gaskets n shit....
budget 3.5k

that 200 just had longer gearing... MOFo kunt... spoke to him afterwards.... admit he got a bit of a shock esp as i was pulling him in low/mid 3rd.... the i ran out of 3rd.... baa
Depends what your after really.... a balls out, rev your tits off 1.6?, or an easy 160bhp from a 2.0?
