To put ITB's in an FTO would be harder that simply bolting a few up.
Space is an issue, and everything would have to be custom.
Cams = 2k, Dyno = $$, 6 TB's, custom intake manifold, engine work to support them ($$ very quickly) and engineers cert IF you can get one (assuming it can all fit under there)
I can see that getting up to 10k easy dude
And a 4g93/6a13 is a much less stressful and simple job over doing a custom 63T job - the point being to get away from all the custom work and do a mostly bolt up job..

I thought that RPW had done this many moons ago. Like 2002 when I first got my FTO and bought my extractors from them. I seem to recall them being called MTB's. Or maybe they were in development.

I'm not sure if they ever made them or rather they claimed they could make them upon request.
I think though it must have been somewhat of an unsuccessful project as I believe if you asked today RPW would not make you one

That 6ITB setup will retain the stock inlet runners, and I presume plenum?
With a simple inlet replacing the stock TB?
Interesting way to do it.
My setup, the triple throttles cost $200 from a bike wrecker (Triumph 1050cc bike/45mm throats)
The manifold cost $1000 to build.

I have those Works cam gears.
From a Vic ebay mob.
$300

Be warned, you will need to modify the cam sensor disc/wheel. It is incorrect for FTO.
