how long is a piece of string?
for all we know its not even turbo..just listed as one because of the inlet...looking at the way the manifold goes (which just looks likea normal 421) the turbo must be on the floor lol

Can't see a turbo and it does look a lot like a normal 4 branch. Not an expert on turbos by any means, but they generally have a lot more 'pipe work' don't they?
Lol

Titch actually made one of these. The port spacing is perfect except it needs a bit cut out the middle - ie, first two ports fine, too big a gap, then next two fine. Cut a section out the middle it bolts right on.
These manifolds flow well and have a nice sized throttle body compared to the standard gti/VTS one. Look a bit basic but work well and not expensive to make.
Edit to add: on reflection, it was easy but perhaps not quite so easy as I made out above. If anyone actually gives a shit I'll ask Titch what he did. But it really wasnt complex.

i'm almost sure its the same engine in each of these cars. Just changes the shell, or repaints the old one and changes wheels and bumpers. Always have the rover inlets and really long primary length on the mani. Plus always located around preston/blackpool/morcombe (probably cos they blow up before getting much further lol)
