I see - but the engine in the above pic is mine. It uses 4 separate air trumpets with an external filter. My engine spec is probably a bit more wild than yours, but it makes 214bhp - quite a big difference. Oh and my engine rebuild wasn't cheap, so reliability is a big issue for me

With the throttle bodies on and reprogrammed ECU by Steinmetz, it used to run 130bhp. Now many things have changed (engine rebuilt, pistons, cams, polished cylinderhead, compression ratio 11:1 etc), haven't rolling road'd it yet, but it must uns aproximately 155-160 bhp...
If you had used individual trumpets and a conventional throttle body system with all those mods above, you'd be looking at 180-190bhp easy. I think this is why some people have referred to your kit as not being 'proper' throttle bodies. What's the point of providing 4 separate air intakes to allow more air (plus more fuel) into the engine if you then restrict it all again by making the engine breathe through one convoluted air intake? 
I know, what you mean. But note that in case that I had used individual trumpets without the concoluted air intake, I would need a new ECU which would cost me about 1000pounds, 4 years ago, plus that I would be looking for a higher fuel consumption. Also note that that 4 years ago, throttle bodies were at their beginning and there wasn't any knowledge on them... Instead, I found this kit of Steinmetz that was ready to be fit... I would love running 180 bhp, but I am also satisfied with 155-160
