Twin throttle body/manifold for 5L

[Pusser]

Stick with the standard manifold (I assume you have a 355). I upgraded my 355 (COME) Calais to a Motec ECU/TTB and was not happy with the result. It wasn't until I upgraded to a 383 with different (still mild) cam that the car started to perform as I expected. My advice would be to save your money. The 355 with a standard manifold will give you more than enough power (and more importantly usable torque) for the road. In fact, the 355s are deadly on cold tyres if you give them a boot taking off from rest!

Thanks for that mate. I had heard that, but it's good to hear it first hand. Maybe time to reconsider!

did you paint the flowcraft manifold black

It's a Motec manifold not a Flowcraft (although they look identical). Not sure who copied who. The manifold colour is actually Dark Amethyst, a metallic purple/black colour which was available in the VS. The manifold is the same colour as the car, and can be seen better in the photo below.
