   Well basically a few q's!!
   
   Do i get an inlet manifold designed to fit, get some R6 Throttle Bodies, Some trumpets, Linkage arm an Adjustable FPR....
   
   What else is required and do i need to get a standalone ecu for the throttle bodies? Or is it really just a big expense to do a kit this way?

   standalone is a must imo!
   
   i personally dont like the ideas of bike boddies when there are very good and affordable set ups by kms (dth) on the market.
   
   however you can get the bike bodies on a custom made inlet manifold for a very cheap price.

   you will need a proper remap of the ecu (£500 estimate)
   they will need to be balanced etc...
   
   i personally wouldnt try bodging stuff when it comes to bodies.
   
   a friend is running dcoes and has a DIY map shall we say and the car runs very poorly.
