Not a lot to add, but there's two ways to go to add 20v TB's to a 16v.
One way is to make up a manifold that the TB's themselves bolt to, and that's not hugely hard to do but takes a lot of time fiddling around with getting everything just right. (The linkages between the TB's are pretty fiddly)
The other way is to make a thin-ish adaptor that goes between the 20v inlet manifold and the 16v head. I reckon this would be a bad idea as the different in size & shape of the two ports would be hard to blend over a short distance.

Either way isn't easy, but the first way is probably the best.

My one is a bit of a bodgy version of the first, as I was going to add some dead Webers to the head and so made up a Weber style manifold to suit. But then the 20v TB's came along and I decided to go with those instead. The easiest way out of making the TB's fit was to make another adaptor that went between the TB's and the Weber style manifold to make them fit each other.
A bit fiddly, but it works okay.
