   Well i have bought a set of 708's and a predator ecu which will be fitted and running at the end of the month.
   
   I have looked into throttle bodies and i can see from previous threads of people asking that ill need
   
   bodies
   inlet manifold
   
   and my predator mapped to run these.
   
   Im looking at some r1 bike bodies as its cheap and easy for just now and maybe further down the line ill want to put more money into this and have more engine work done
   
   but for the now, is all i need is a set of bodies and an inlet manifold which i can buy from GMC for £170
   
   is this all i need?
   
   also is the boddies easy to fit and get them setup before they are mapped or is there more work involved?
   
   any info br great
   
   i have already searched and seen i need the above but i just want make sure thats all i need before i start buying more

   bike bodies often need modifications to fit, they dont generally just bolt onto the inlet manifolds easy, sometimes the throttle linkage can be a pain etc..

   i dont have that kind of cash atm, ive just bought 708's, pred ecu, new manifold and paying for fitting plus all service while there
   
   with bike bodies, it was cheap for the now until i have cash to go further
   
   i have a mate local who is running the r1 bodies on his gti
   
   and he reckons thats all i need to get them running

   What about fuel rail? External fpr? Filter? Tps? Brake servo take off?

   What injectors you going to use with the bike bodies? Which fuel rail, as standard would need brackets made up etc. If you use a non standard rail, you'll need an external fuel pressure regulator and re-route some fuel lines.
   
   What about the trotlle position sensor? Use the one already on the bike bodies?it compatible with the Predator? Could use a jenvey/colvern tps and wire it into the standard loom.
   
   You going to run an air filter? I would - how are you going to attach it to the bike bodies?
