Stop being tight and get throttle bodies

But really, save for the VX one, i've heard stories about the other copies basically caving in where the bolts go through to the bottom half of the inlet manifold

more bhp, but the car feels less low down the revs. have to start really working the engine.
they are worth it. i had a c16xe with a genuine mantzel, manifold, piggy pack ecu and a few other bits and pieces. was around the 135-40 mark.

guess if it takes you that long to save £80 then you wont be notifying your insurer of the mod's as its going to take as long to save the rest for insurance
