It's my understanding that TWM is now producing an SU throttle body but I
don't see it advertised on their site. It's new so maybe they have just not
updated their web page yet.
Are the fuel maps in the ECU for your son's system going to be programmable
via a PC?
Keep us posted, I for one am very interested, assuming that the price is
reasonable.
