Our 2.0L taper throttle kit was originally developed by Steve in 1994 for a customer running a privately funded Touring car, being very pleased with the results obtained, he decided to run the kit on a standard engine. The kit proved extremely efficient & as a direct replacement of the standard induction system gives an incredible 39% increase in power, provided a suitable exhasut system is used. It gives an almost road car like driving characteristics, very smooth & progressive and good all round driveability. It is extremely popular in the sprint, hillclimb, circuit & rally scene, selling in large numbers all around the world. Trevor Willis used this kit on his Westfield when he become the overall winner of 1996 & 1997 CCC Speed Championship.
