Steve why did you end up draging the mounting point so far forward? You have a gigantic turbo there that looks to be on the heavy side and now it's sitting infront of your front axle as well. That can't be very good for the heavy front ended mkiii unless the car will do drag racing only. It is going to be really awkward to have the front three runners turned downwards and back up to meet the flange as well.
How come you didn't situated the mounting flange just behind the turret area?
Loads of space for the three rear runners to fold downwards and back up at that area and there would still be left enough room for the front three runners to fold backwards.

yannis i have done it for a couple of reasons
1# i could double them back on first 3 cyls the cold side of turbo took up all the room
2# when done and running i dont want to have to make a complete new manifold if i decide to put a gt47 in as that wont fit further back anyway

You're gonna have some fun building those front runners I'm telling you :naughty:

lmao i know but they will look bloody good nice and swoopy :biglaugh:

only downside is i might have to move the power steering pump and buy a mr2 electric one that i can mount somewhere else but that is no hardship i suppose :naughty:

My last post is reffering to the WOTM manifold, pure sex.
Hey what's this about the mr2 electric power steering pump? My power steering reservoir has been a pain in the ass to avoid with the front turbo there. Is the mr2 unit compatible/easy to make fit?

and Ian regarding the n/a p/s tank, I've been looking everywhere but obviously my eyesight isn't good enough cause I couldn't find any pictures of a n/a engine bay picture to see what it's like...

Ian is it that plastic bottle right next to your air filter at the front left? If that's the one I can't see why I could not just use the stock turbo one and relocate it there?
P.S. sorry about this Steve, I hope it won't take more than just another post...
