you can use the same manifold, i did, they are only of by a couple of mm, you can only see the difference on one cylinder.

what else did you need to do the conversion..

im thinking..
megasuirt
fuel pump

sensors etc.
lambda.

I fitted TB's to a carbed R1 and it was OK but they were a bu**er to fit and wouldn't stay on for long!
