that is just an uprated throttle body for you're car, which will release a few bhp harldy anything as u'll need to port polish etc.. to match everything up but even then u'll be lucky to see 7-10bhp.
Throttle Bodies are a full conversion which replaces the intake manifold for 4 tb's but in your car u will have 6, and will cost in the thousands but u will recieve good gains of around 40bhp

mate when u said throttal bodies, every1 thought TBs like the one SBD do, the ones where the entire air intake system is taken out and replaced with 4 trumpts, and these for a 1.6 16v cost just under 2k
