As I've a turbo, I'd say throttle bodies as its not my money!

But your talking silly ££££££ for 250/260bhp!

If they cost the same I'd have a TB'd engine over a turbo'd one. But then again if I had a TB'd car I'd probably want a turbo one!

its all down to personal preference

turbos you will get more bhp per £ you spend and they tend to be rediculously quick altho traction is often an issue

With TB's you cant beat that burble and instant powere from a NA engine. ALso die to traction issues TB'd corsas tend to get better quarter times than turbos i.e lucky b's

depends whar you want really?

if your on a budget go for the turbo

if not go for tb's you vant beat that sound and 200bhp is plenty enough in a corsa for the road

Depends on what you're after.

Ollie - if you had TB's you'd need two pairs of socks.

So TB's seem to have a higher rating than Turbo's, Persoanlly my self I like turbo's, U can just hear the Buzz when Ur crusing along + When U come of the Accelarated at high Revs and U have a dump vavle the Wooooshhh is nearlly good enough to make ppl come in thier pants!

i am going for tb's as its just different sounds awsome, no turbo lag and if mapped properly can be used as an every day car and as i am having my XE fully rebuilt i thought why not?

Traction always seems awsome on TB'd cars, suppose its due to no surge on the car from coming on boost.

200bhp is not enough! Don't think you can ever have enough power!

TB'S as long as your matching them up with a set of cams and getting them mapped properly.
if its just tTB's on thier own, dont bother.

and they sound fucking awsome.

Once you've heard TBs at 8500rpm, that's reason enough

ARP rod bolt's

Steel Con Rods

Im sure Andys engine will have forged pistons to be revving that high

Cams would be a good idea to get the most out of the TB's
