    Hmm. Interesting step in the conversion to Digi1 or mappable fuel
    injection...

    What's that? He's sticking with K-Jet? [8-}]

    I do like those throttles :)

    Fair play to the guy he's done something different, might not be ideal with the air flow plate still there but some good work in there none the less :clap:

    AND he's spent 4000 Euro on doing it?????? Did he start with an "Engines for Dummies" book, and just work from that? :lol: :lol: :lol: [8-}]

    Must be 4000 on the whole car, surely? If not, he should have asked me
    and saved some money. I'd have been happy to fit the individual throttles
    for 3750. :)

    He says 4000 Euro on it, which is three times the price of the car....... Must have been some pricey duct tape. :lol:

    You all say its pointless but when i fitted a single 60mm butterfly throttle body it gave me a huge boost in lowdown power with k-jet

    on a valver? which already has twin throttle plates?

    seems like a lot of work in the wrong direction.. how bizarre.
