Bike Carbs are very reliable, much more so then DCOE Weber 40's or 45's that go out of balance every 3000 miles!!!! Especially if you get some of the more modern set up like from an R1 or GSXR750/1000 etc as these use electronic fuel pumps aswell! The only prob I can see is getting 5 of the things as they usually come in banks of 4!!!
Good power gains can be had from them aswell, once properly set-up etc! I know a guy who as a set of R1 carbs on his 16V 'rocco. Only other mod is a polished and ported head and that pushing the 170bhp mark!!! Pretty good i'd say, plus it sounds awesome on full chat!

You can pick a set of R1 carbs complete with pump etc for £100 or so on fleabay! Company you really need to talk to are Bogg Brothers! They are the daddies, they will build you a custom manifold and can even redrill and set up your carbs for your particular car! Looking at your you tube links in the 1st post Bogg Brothers actually sorted the manifold etc on that audi so would deffo be worth talking to them!

You will need to keep the ignition side of fuel injection system etc but I reckon you could be up and running on bike carbs for £500 to £1000 including the carbs, manifolds and RR set up!
Plus who else has done this in the UK??? Bet they're ain't many, modding is about doing stuff that ain't been done before.......I think it would be cool!
The Noise will be worth it
