Just spotted this on mig

sounds like he is willing to take a big on the price too, cheap way of getting a half decent inlet onto a LET!

Dude, daft question perhaps but don't you have to use specific throttle bodies for forced induction use? If they are designed for N/A purposes will they work ok? I remember years ago Phil and Pete up my way were looking into it and Jenvy told them they needed a different design to accommodate turbos. I can't remember why exactly.

Don't see why really. I've been using Jenvey throttle bodies on my LET for a couple of years without any issues. What issue do you see with 4 TB's over a setup using just one?

If the bushes were poor you might lose a bit of boost by it leaking out of them I guess in theory, but I've never observed it when I've used n/a bodies on a turbo like the v6 vectra one on my nova for example
