    I've got the megane head which is the one you want for TBs..
    Its a reconditioned head. Let me know if you want it.

    You can use either head but you have to use paired tb's on the willy head and you can use the meg head for individual throttle bodies (better iirc)

    No what i meant was i heard you cant use itb's on the willy head you have to use paired, whereas you can use either on the meg head, or is this false info?

    only reason u cant is cos there isnt an off the shelf manifold...if you made one or fitted direct-to-head you could.

    theres no benefit of having individual compared to paired...its more of a packaging issue.
