More responsive - overall less lag and marginally quicker spoolup, apart from that it just makes everything under the bonnet look alot neater

Default Inlet Rotation

As far as im aware V3/4 is a staight foward rotation, with minor modification / fabrication required to FMIC pipe work , I also had the fuel rails fed via parallel lines and had a oil catch can added at the same time.

As mentioned the version 1.5 manifold will rotate with out too much trouble but you still need to do the following to make it work.

Remove manifold and strip.
Remove lower dowels on manifold.
Remove existing hard line fuel rails and replace with parallel feed to obtain clearance.
Remove air con if you have.
Relocate alternator.
Modify alternator bracket.
Modify ICV
Modify Power steering tank
Re route water pipe under manifold.
Relocate header tank.
Block of or reroute Breathers.
Modify power steering pulley adjuster.
Modify Throttle linkage.
Make inter cooler pipes for front entry.
Finish of by routing all existing vacuum pipes etc to make neat.

For the phase 1 and 2 manifold it’s more work still as the manifold will need welding.



And all you need now is a BIG turbo

Its around 6-8 hours depending on finish I.e. breather routing with fitted catch can fuel line finishing etc.

Labor @£45 per hour

You then need to add on fuel fittings, water hose etc. For a basic set up standard hose and fittings and no catch can Budget up to £100 this also makes use and assumes you have existing intercooler pipe work.


This also assumes you have the version 1.5 manifold.

For phase 1 manifolds add on £280 (Exchange) Modified manifold will be supplied with switched TB and customers chosen color. We can also supply polished manifolds.
