Ok I may get hated on but here we go, is there anyway to put individual throttle bodies on a s4 na motor kinda like they do with the 20b? I think that would be freakin sick!!!!

Of course there's a way, just takes desire, money and skill.
Most people have only two of the requirements.

Then the first skill you should employ is searching...there have been a few builds like you propose.
I think the general consensus is going to be a resounding "Why?", specifically, "Why bother with a NA engine?".

Assuming the skills and tooling are available and you've sourced some suitable throttle bodies (possibly motorcycle?), actually installing the new intake is only the first step...you then need all new engine management.

The question you should be asking is not "Can it be done?", rather "What will I end up with?".
In your case, you end up with power levels maybe on par with a stock turbo engine but no real path forward...you have pretty much maxxed out your options.

Besides "freakin sickness" is there another reason you want/need to try this?

KIT: Mazda 13B on Atkins Intake Manifold

You will need a carbed intake manifold, and a stand alone ems.

What's been said here is correct. You'll need a carbbed intake manifold, appropriate ITBs to fit said intake manifold, stand alone EMS, and redo your fuel plumbing in the engine bay. If you wish to continue down this path please do some searching as others have done this in the past and take your posts over to the Naturally Aspirated Performance forum as they will be much more willing to help you with your NA build.
