   I have some throttle bodies (not carbs) off a superbike. There are four 42mm TB's, Could i replace the standard one with two to get more air in?
   
   I know id have to make some sort of mating plate or whatever, but would the fueling need seeing to, or would i need a remap?
   
   This is only till i finish fabricating an inlet manifold for my VTR, then ill have all four on there, and a small turbo.

   O, also. i know ill have to get a megasquirt ecu to do the turbo thing, so i dont mind getting one abit early and programming it to do the above task...

   you'll need a remap.
   
   Are you fitting both the turbo and Throttle bodies together or whats going on I'm slightly confused??
   
   After reading it a few more times you will need a stand alone ecu (mega squirt etc) and possibly a 5th injector for the turbo conversion.
   
   In regards to throttle bodies I'm not quite sure what you mean but you would need to fabricate some form of mounting and I believe modify the inlet.
   
   Get some more details up for a more specific answer

   you could run the throttle bodies off a mounting plate then house them in an enclosure with a direct cold air feed. you would defo need a remap and a 5th injector along with mf2 etc.
   this will turn out to be pritty expensive and complex mate, i have herd of a few peeps trying it, but no results as of yet
