More pics -
Some things are better left to the experts
my alloy welding efforts (must try harder)
Turbo discharge pipe
Where it's going to fit........eventually

Have to start calling you handy Andy mate, throttle body looks
good, il be the first to hold my hand up and say im no welder, but i found half the battle was having the correct rod, just out of
interest i found 10% silicon rod good for the cast stuff like manifolds and heads etc.... good luck.

I used half the original bracket upside down, drilled and tapped new holes in the manifold. See pic above
The manifold spacers give me loads of room ! Turbo inlet 80mm (I think). Discharge 63mm.

Mmm, water feed to the throttle body 
what ? and heat up that air i've just spent ££££ s getting cooler 
The turbo acts as a nice pre heater so don't think I'll have any iceing problems (that's why it's there)
No close ups of bracket yet but will get tomorrow.
Turbo pics for Carlos
Standard 90 degree compressor housing top. Just cut off the bend and fit a supply to it.

Why didnt you just turn the manifold round?? Then the entry would have been on the front anyway, and since you dont have any PAS, wouldnt have to worry about the ISCV hitting anything? Then the throttle linkage etc would work as normal.

The angle that the throttle body comes up at on the early manifold would hit the bonnet. As Ian says, the ISC valve also sticks up too high My manifold is also raised on spacers so it was a definite no no !
On this front entry mod, I've also angled the throttle body downward slightly to reduce the pipework angles to the intercooler.

it doesnt hit the bonnet if you reverse the manifold. even the early one.
it might if you have raised it up using spacers under the manifold and I am guessing due to the clearance on your turbo that you have.

even without spacers it would have needed about 30mm.

You could get someone to machine yours David, to change the angle??
And re above....it might if you have raised the manifold...has someone been sleeping??
If you are thinking of another early car that runs a reversed manifold, there is no ISCV fitted.

not worth the hassle, might as well just make some pipe work with bends in...
Oh well might get my self in the garage tonight and update my thread...

Steve, Yawn.... I raised the manifold on spacers.....but before this I tried rotating it and the ISCV fouled the bonnet by approx 30mm IIRC the 5th injector hit also
Do you think I LIKE welding alluminium

LMAO @ Andy (Not at his joke )
That is how the inlet sits when turned around on mine!
94' Uk 5dr (no spacers... just gaskets!)
Bonnet bulge on my alloy bonnet, nah!

Adam,
I think you will find the throttle body angle has also been changed on Marks manifold, which is an ex group A item I believe. In addition hasn't it also been extrude honed or something similar?

It might fit without spacer and without ISCV but the throttle body would still be at the wrong angle
Wot you on about anyway ? I've already got a decent ECU.....JECS
