Has anyone altered thier inlet manifold so that it's fed at the front (FMIC) like the white WRC one in this post ???

If so how easy is it and whats involved ??

So you basically you blanked it off at the back and fed the intercooler from the front. (how many pages in the post !!!!!)

Are the motorsport ones that do this silly money ???

The work on the mainfold is very good, infact brilliant.

As for the car (although now being stripped for a more powerful setup) is very impressive.

Davids car matched my, in fact bettered it, at the Well Lane day in October, and on the road they were an absolute match.

The difference - i spent about 10 times more than David

Cant wait to drive it when the new engine is in

Your old turbo unit (mine now) was front entry - will this manifold fit under the bonnet if i raise the manifold for the benefit of direct/front entry ??
