yes mate thats the throttle body. it needs to be relocated there when you fit one of thse inlets.
there's a few tutorials floating about round here....but when will is fitting mine to my engine, he will be taking progress pics and writing a guide that will be given out to anyone who buys one.
its not a difficult job by all accounts.

will is a busy bloke, and since he's using equipment at his work, he cant just drop his jobs to do the inlets. They will get done, its just a question of how busy he is at work, and if the materials are ready for him to be used.
im waiting for mine, its been welded up, it just needs to be skimmed and powder coated, then we'll get fitting it and making a tutorial.

Hey people i didnt realise there had been replies lol perhaps i'll get a bunch of emails notifying me later 
Answer to that question about the throttle body, yeah that is it you've highlighed in the picture. the throttle cable doesnt have to be modified though. you will (most probably) need to lengthen 2 of the throttle position sensor wires but i'll include a small loom & crimp connectors with the kit. you also need to bypass one of the small coolant hoses but this is very simple and again the parts you need will be in the kit 
As luigi said his is the first to be fitted onto a standard engine and will be used to write a full tutorial with pics and so i dont miss out anything that you need in the kit.
His one has been welded and cleaned up for about 2 weeks but unfortunatly the machine shop has been too busy to get it skimmed for me, i've been told its being done this week so fingers crossed 
As for the postage question, i wont really know until i've got one completely kitted up & boxed so i can get it weighed down the post office lol unfortunatly i'm not sure until then

I cant put a date on it i'm afraid mate since i'm relying on other people to do it inbetween main production jobs and things are very busy at work atm, i just found out today that the one that i'm waiting to get skimmed now wont be done till monday night.
Yes there are other people selling them, the choice is yours at the end of the day dude
