There is a wealth of Quad information on this site.

General consensus is that you will need at the least a very good piggyback ECU like a eManage Ultimate. Full ECU is best. Injectors and pump should be fine if that is all you are doing.

This set has been lurking with a forum sponsor for some time.

Bear in mind that you may have clearance issues with the brake/clutch setup.

Damn - $800 for a manifold?

I'm sure you could get one custom fabricated for less...

Looking at the Mania used page, how can a set of 1.8 throttle bodies fit both the NA and NB... doesn't the NB have a different angle on their intake ports?
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
