QEP allready sell DTH bodies,
Pugsport sell DTH bodies *very high cost though*
Jenvey sell decent SF bodies.
i personally wouldnt run DCOEs due to the inlet manifold design.

Please correct me im wrong but i was under the impression the standard ECU won't run TB's as they are mapped against TPS not MAP (as the standard one is)?

that is the most backward way to look at tuning, espec as on proper TBS u need to run a standalone.
the standalone is the best thing to get first! if you keep buying bits to the engine you are forever remapping it.

you are probably right ross, so if i change the throttle boddies the standard ecu wouldnt be able to handle it???

No matey, your best off, as Ryan said, to look at standalone management first, then add your other mods and get the fitter to tweak/change the map when you add them.
Theres a few out there to choose from get reading!

Look at an omex 600 ecu, they are one of the best out there!! Any many mappers prefer them 2 be honest.
If you got to www.hiflowheads.co.uk they will probably sort you a deal out on a package. Say Craig sent you!

I fitted an MBE standalone management system on my vtr last week, i have no other engine mods and after my dad mapped it gained 10bhp and bottom end is alot better.
I'd say go for an aftermarket ECU and get it remapped mate, then if u still want more power go for some TB's which the ECU will run and get it mapped again
