Nope..that is one of the "twin" TB setups. The other has a TB at the left and right side of the Intake Manafold. To me...that setup looks 75% pointless, unless the intake manafold has been bored out to about 90 MM to make use of both Throttle bodies.
It looks like they only have 1 temp sensor and 1 Throttle position sensor. Granted they have a MAP sensor (North America gets MAF), so air flow isn't a ECU concern, just pressure, but I would worry about the accuracy of the air pressure/vs TPS readings the ECU gets off the MAP. This setup might give you better low end throttle response, but I seriously doubt you'd get big numbers with this setup, at leas not compared to the cost involved in those parts and the bore work to the Intake manafold.

I had the dash painted in my Tib. The best advice I can give is to first list what you want painted and what not. Then take your car to a professional because if you do it yourself you will screw up. Finally, keep what you dont want painted with you or they will make a mess up and problaby paint the wrong parts. It costed me around $250 but it was well worth it minus the fact that I didnt get a clear coat. Make sure you get a clear coat.
