Ya, ITB's aren't really a cheap way to go unless you can fabricate a manifold yourself. I was going to build something similar for my FC but then decided to go turbo. I was going to use some sort of motorcycle throttle bodies and make a manifold to mate to a S4 TII lower intake manifold. I ended up using all the cool bits I collected for that project to build the engine for my Rx-4. NA engines are interesting to play with. I'm still trying to tweak my Rx-4 to see what it's capable of. It's nice to know you won't kill an apex seal if it goes lean for a second.
