What throttle bodies have you got? What ECU and loom?

The only down side is the noise, they're fucking loud on full throttle.

I loved the noise mine made! At part throttle it was pretty quiet, full throttle was awesome!
Down side- costly way of getting power, but deffo worth it!

I loved the noise, the best was the note it made when you changed up a gear, and you got back on the throttle.

It was a 20xe, overbored 1mm, high lift cams, lightened and blanced, and a LSD.
