Keep an eye on the ebay one... you may snap it up cheap.

If you got one off an ecotek engine make sure you get a new gasket from Vaux before fitting.

It is but you have to cut away at it and to be honest its more hassle than anything

Also think you need to remove the heat shielding carpet from under the bonnet.

you dont change the throttle body...

you use a modded tophat, then use the inlet pipe of a c20xev..

the adapters are avilable on ebay, vtuning etc

Yeah, the V-Tuning one is the dogs bollocks, nicely polished alloy not some thin crap sheet steel.

Plus if you use a Mantzel Powercap you need to cut the bulkhead!
