www.tracktive.co.uk it's under the induction section the main benefits to be had are when the manifold is fitted with a front mounted intercooler. It basically shorten the overall inlet tract hense reducing turbo lag and of course it look the dogs danglies. Would be nice to hear from someone who has one installed on their car. So come on guys who's up for a group buy ?

Hi guys just come off the phone from tracktive and had an in depth chat with them about their reverse inlet manifold. The fitment doesn't cause any problems with the alternater placement ( unlike the genuine wrc item) but it is not possible to fit it on a car with air con. So i'm personally going to give it a swerve as i'm not prepared to remove the air con from my car.

Cheers Steve i know realise that although if you really fancied fabricating some brackets for their manifold to relocate the air conditioning compresser technically according to tracktive it is possible. I just didn't want to incur the extra expense or nuts ache of it.

Not looked on NASIOC lately... a few people have reversed the inlet on newages and kept air con, alternator and PAS in standard position.

The tracktive inlet manifold has the main plenum canted over to one side so that the alternator doesn't have to be relecoted as would be the case with the genuine WRC manifold.
