Stu Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 None of the things you've got/added so far will give you a noticeable power increase (beyond placebo). The PBV will most likely lose you performance. The only way to get a noticeable power increase is turbo/nitrous/supercharger/throttle_bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBF Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 thanks for the reply i've Just just noticed that the PBV has made my top speed fall by 10mph and no pull left, was a lil worried about that now i know was thinking of changing the throttle body , heard that the a 2.0 zetec would be good but woud that not clash with ecu settings ? example i tried to put a new Mass Airflow Sensor on it off a 2 zetec but she couldn't idle herself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rs2k2008 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 adding on a bigger throttle body to your engine will only makes things worse mate. I would start by droping a 2.0l zetec in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
