Gotta be better than their "Throttle Bodies" design
Can't really go wrong with it, just a chamber, then down the inlet manifolds into the heads. Same as the Velos and Mantzel jobbies. I should expect the same kinda power gains.

Wish I still had my GSi, although when my car has been sprayed next month I know I will love the GT more than any car I have ever owned

Everyone slates the Dbilas throttle bodies including me in the past but if set-up correctly they are not that bad. I am well happy with them now. Car starts up first time everytime even in the cold, they have given me good power gains, around 30-35bhp from just the throttle bodies and yeah they are a bastard to fit and get right but once thats done they are not that bad. Been on the car for a year now and have had no problems with them apart from a loose mount about a month ago.

If I do decide to keep my GSI I'll be going for either a mantzel or dbilas inlet manifold, a de-cat, superchip to raise the limiter and maybe a 4-1 exhaust manfold. Hoping for 145-150bhp with that lot

Would go for a 4-2-1 manifold.
With the Mantzel kit u get the lower inlet manifold too. (On the C16XE lumps). X16 and X14 i think is £475.

Superchip works finew on the Mantzel items as there has been one custom made to suit the M-box.
