there was someone on here that did a back to back run on a vtr and got the rolling road graph to prove. the gained 1.2bhp IIRC. thats on a vtr with an air filter. the more mods. the more benefit you get.
if you want to know if they are any good. have a word with wayne at chipwizards. the cars with them fitted ALLWAYS seem to get better bhp figures. they arn't just dremmeled. they are bored out to be a minimum measurement all the way through. Feel free to butcher it yourself. but before you do, make sure you got a steady hand because one slip and you take to much off, hit an air pocket in the casting or score the seal. then you get an idle of 3000rpm (ish)... new thorttlebody on the way!

there is no direct fit from any other peugeot/citroen engines for the ts. you can buy bigger tb's for them but they cast around £250 for the sake of an extra 3mm on the opening. much better getting it gasflowed.
the throttlebodies arnt restrictive on a standard saxo but when you start upping the airflow when you put exhausts and filters and cams etc on, then the standard parts start to become restrictive.
