TBs you'll get good power gains, but at a price.
cams and ecu, esp with the cams you'll loose top end for acceleration gains, or vise versa. ECU is really mapping mods already there and gettiing a smother acc curve

not sure about c20xe but tbs on a 16xe gives about 165bhp from the standard 109/106. would expect the gains to be around 50-70bhp.
would expect the cams and ecu to be much less. if you want some advice talk to www.velosmotorsport.co.uk or theres a place in northampton called jam motor sport.

You'll need a new ECU to run the throttle bodies. Forget running lumpy cams on the standard engine to gain power - yes you'll gain a bit of peak power, but you'll lose mid power, making your car no faster in real driving conditions. TBs on the other hand will make it fly
