In all cases a RR dyno tune to 'polish the edges' is recommended. As you are in Ireland, with its wealth of rallying preperation, i'd have thought the use of twin webers would like be best / cheapest option for a local fix as your Nodiz can be retained even if you have to add the TPS to the new carbs! If you just want the car running then fit a twin choke downdraft 28/32 weber or suchlike - tried and tested but still needs tuning to suit application!
@ Onyd - No one disputes that there is very little difference @ WOT between DCOE's, DHLA's or TB's, it is without doubt that idle and mid range running / performance can be significantly better with TB's / full engine management? But i'd wager money with you that a set of bike slide carbs (set up correctly and on an engine that can utilise the airflow!) could match or beat your 2bhp claim at the top end!
