My 2.0 on TB's is tough as nails. Nothing major has broke yet, only minor problems mainly due to me.
Cheap to fix too if it does go boom boom. Just buy another one for a few hundred quid  Gaz'D style

i have mucho respect for the toughness of a well built vauxhall tb engine, some go on and on, others go pop or smoke etc....

Thats down to Novatech, feel quite let down by them to be honest! When its in the other shell I'm just going to turn up one day & make them sort it properly
You might think I'm crazy but it works better with elastic bands

Wouldn't say I really have trouble anyway
Seems daft buying a new set of TB's (because of one little spring that I don't even really need)
