   Bike carbs are a big step backwards, you want bike throttle bodies.
   You will need an ECU to map for different fueling, yes, and compared with turbo is an expensive £/BHP way of tuning and you hit a ceiling at around 170-180bhp and going through that ceiling costs a LOT of money

   What he said.
   
   Fuel injection is on there for a reason.
   
   I run CBR600 carbs on my 1.4 16v Polo and they're a pain to get running right. Sound awesome but a pain none the less.
   
   Throttle bodies are where it's at.

   Some form of engine management.
   A manifold/flange to adapt the Bike TB's to the inlet ports on the head.

   Bike carbs on your unlimited budget turbo build? I'm confused...

   I heard it was going to be a turbo engine in the back and carbs on the front engine

   I heard he was having a turbo fed into each carb inlet - so basically a quad turbo bike carbed superbeast

    As he has no budget ceiling for the turbo end he could do something like this instead perhaps
