It may do one he's taken off the pas and air on and a custom exhaust and remap. Only half off that power will be down to the itb's.

I'm waiting for a email back but I don't see them goin for over 500!

You would have to have an awesome H22 to need these.

Use OE intake manifold for mild tuning (I/H/E/St1 cams)
Sk2 / ATR single stage intake manifold for medium to high tune level (I/H/E/high comp,higher revs, wild cams)
ITB's for high tune to full race all steel forged motor.

ITB's on a mild tune motor will make little difference to the outright power level (although power delivery can be improved). Road manners will deteriorate significantly and require regular checking on set up/balance.

Don't forget that it's not just a set of ITB's that you need. You will also need (depending on ITB setup) - fuel pressure reg, new fuel lines, some vacuum line work (depending on how many creature comforts you want to keep), filter plate and filter or airbox, wiring mods, proper standalone ecu capable of running ITBs properly, lots of time in setup and dyno work.

In short... ITB's fully fitted and setup doesn't come cheap.

IMO the £500 is MUCH better spent on a final drive or a low ratio gear box or something.

If you want a way around customs charges, get it marked up as a test sample and sent to a business address, i.e. your office

Then there's no import charges

That's not true. I've spoken to customs before regarding all this kind of stuff. There are no ways around it apart from luck.

I work for a test house, we get 30+ test samples sent to us every day from all over the globe. I've had this conversation personally with customs on numerous occasions when they try and charge us import costs.
