Re the throttle bodies, I tihnk they're Ԛ£120 on an exchange basis, and available through the Zone 
On the subject of throttle bodies, am I right in thinking that they allow more air into the chambers so that more molecules of fuel are burnt, and this is how performance is improved?
I assume that economy also improves due to the more complete combustion of hydrocarbons?

Its not whether they make then or not, its just a matter of increasing the diameter of the TB.
It can be done on any injection E30.
The guy on this site is called Alpina123 or something and he does them for about Ԛ£120, then you send him your old one.
