are you refering to the sbd kit?

if so, you can get them a lot cheaper than from sbd.

dont get me wrong, sbd are a great company but their tb kits are overpriced.

this is the actual body of the tb you get with the sbd kit:



compare that with these billet alumimium jobbies:




and then think, the bottom ones cost £400 less than the sbd ones and come complete with a much better management system (omex 600 ) and are much easier to balance and adjust, also they have interchangable stack heights and anodised fuel rail and fittings. (wont oxidise or rust) ive had both kits and the difference in quality is massive.

i also have the SBD kit, the new ones i have now are alot better than the old ones i had (which i think are the ones Dave A has a picture of). They are alot easier to adjust than the old ones, I've never seen the novatech ones so cant comment on them.

also i've never had any problems with the supplied MBE management

Personally, having tinkers with tapers, novateh bodies and parallel jenveys I prefer the jenveys. straight forward, do the job and easy to work on.

Speedex manifold
jenvey 42mm parallels
40mm trumpets
management of your choice, I'd suggest DTA, although personally I use emrald the lack of a ready to run loom puts off most weekend mechanics.
