So, that leaves the throttle body and the cam. If I get just these 2, with the MTH remapped to them, do you think they'll make a good difference without causing any negatives to anything, and also without increasing the sound at all?

Basically, its either TB/Cam or nothing...manifold and/or head isn't an option

going off that then i'd leave it as it is then, the gains your going to get from the TB and cam will be minimal, 15bhp at most and it's going to cost about 600 quid and thats fitting the parts your self!

spend the money on some decent non runflats (if you haven't already got some), upgrade the pads, fluid and hoses and still have money to spare, power isn't everything
