I was referring to these:

Another thing you could do is to buy the modified intake manifolds only,
and use some generic programmable aftermarket kit for the fuel
injection. There exists also a high pressure fuel pump that will fit in
place of the stock Rotax fuel pump. It is the same one Bob Borger has.

Well EFI-systems can sometimes be a nightmare to maintain. Clogged
injectors, faulty sensors, lots of electrical wiring/connectors that can
get dirty, oxidated or just develop faults for no apparent reason, etc.
If maintenance is the issue, I believe that the stock configuration is
more reliable and easier to maintain.
