I don't think Ron's stuck in the 80's, though he /is/ an old chap! I was
wondering the same thing too. And I'm not looking for a floating mechanical
plate, either!

I think we were both just wondering if there was a place to mount a MAP or
MAF sensor. On any car I've known, the MAP or MAF is mounted to the intake
before the individual cylinder runners split, but on a separate TB system,
there is no such place. I suppose it could be only mounted on one TB with
calculations to account for four cylinders, but at a glance, it doesn't even
look like there's room for any such sensor below the air horns. Where does
it go?
