Experience with individual throttle body intakes?

Does anyone out there have experience with individual thottle body intakes (one throttle body per port) on turbo applications? Any information is appreciated.

Thanks,
Eric

The real benefit to such a system is that you can go straight to atmosphere and have, in effect, an infinite plenum. Very cool on NA cars.

On turbo cars you need to have a plenum, its which case you have to put a TB plate in every runner, which is a restriction. it has been done before...for instance on some toyota supercharged applications....but it tends to not be a worthwhile mod. A 3 inch throttle body can flow a **** lod of air.

One potential advantage that I can see is the plenum is not under vacuum with the throttles shut and could result in improved throttle response. Worth the cost? I don't know...
