Nope, the standard Z7W manifold is far better, but you can't use it if you keep the turbo in the original position (unless....you ditch the water pump, run an electric one, then you can flip the manifold round 180 degrees.

Both have the same 55mm throttle body.

A610 inlet manifold is about £350, if they have 'em..

Have seen it thanks lee.
It looked good if i were going the twin turbo route but i have decided to go single.

Anyway the chap said if he doesn't sell the engine complete he will keep it for himself!!!
