I hear it can run off the same ECU, the pump may need changing you may get away with rising the fuel pressure by means of a fuel pressure regulator, please correct me if im wrong on this but this is the way I understand it so far.

My friend had this on a VW corrado and said the car was a bit undrivable lower down the revs (i.e. traffic jams) and he used a shit load of fuel every day...

Is that what makes it unadvisable for everyday use?

I'm confused

Throttle bodies on a VX C20XE wiith management +50bhp
Throttle bodies on a F20 with management +10bhp

Is the Honda engine really that efficient on the inlet side mmmmm
Seen good results for ITB's on a Teg R however
