I purchased an after-market efi system from a southeast coast supplier as a turn key system for a 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

They came without manifolds, without adapter extensions to clear the fuel rails, without linkage, and without filters. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I have contacted this supplier many times and have yet to get a straight answer or proper direction to find a solution. So I purchased the CB Performance 914 linkage kit and the throttle extensions directly from TWM . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

Problem is the CBs linkage does not have the same bolt pattern as the throttles and TWM has no clue what will fit them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I have spent more than $400 more over the "turnkey" price of nearly $4000 to make these work. I am left in the dark and with any help from the suppliers on how to make this system fly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

My question is: Does anyone know what my options are? With over $4000 invested I am left hanging. I need to get this remedied I have too much invested at this point. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

I figured 914 World can help me out, for I have exhausted all my other options. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)
