You can have that hat for £75 if you want it. New ones cost more. Intercoolers can be found on volvo's/saabs and the like for reasonable money.
The carb won't need mods to install the hat.

ok , in theory a 3.9 with low comp cast pistons of about 8.3, what sought of power would it be, using standard crank and rods with the twin turbos, and how much work is involved in fitting ,i will use a intercooler and a blow through carb set up and a turbo cam, just finding out what the cost difference will be between doing the 4.3 or doing a 3.9 twin turbo engine

you could do what i'm doing an put both turbos into one side of an intercooler, then you wouldn't have to modify the carb hat and keeps the plumbing simpler. By the way, I'm now selling my mint Cosworth intercooler which is good for 350bhp as I've changed my mind again lol!!!
