[Diy_efi] "Wet" Manifold Questions

[justin ivan]

Thanks for correctly identifying the correct charger. Some people are 
calling it both now that I research it more. Is there an actual Lysholm 
charger as well?(brand name) As far as the TB being after the charger here 
are some pics of the standard install on a VW

All installs that I have seen look like this, TB is still on intake manifold 
towards back of motor. Easy to identify by the throttle cable.
