Default Reversed inlet manifold pics

Wanted a few pics of peoples reversed inlet manifolds.

Planning on a front mount conversion but want to keep the pipe lengths to a minimum.

Cheers in advance.

for the hassel its not worth it, looked into it on mine and the cost just doesn't make it worth while unless your sepnding huge sums of money and a very very very high spec engine build aka 600-700bhp +

The thing is i have access to every thing i need, only costs me my time.

I just hate the cluttered look of the "average" off the shelf conversions, massive pipe runs etc. I feel i could do alot better with a little thought, rather than the easy routes they took.

Pics anyone?

Ive still got to tidy up the pipework, especially from the turbo but this was just to get it running.

I looked into it, but I didn't want to lose the air con.

You can do it keeping the air con, but you've got to get a remote powersteering unit to make room, and again the cost just isn't worth it.

As the chap above said, unless you're going silly engine power, and don't mind losing the air con, it isn't worth it for the gains you'll get.

That said it does look better, than the normal inlet position.
