Been outside again.. I've done some measuring to guesstimate where the LHD steering box would be. I can fit it in but the compressor inlet is too close to the STD engine mount. Some mount mods will be necessary, but the cross member part should be ok.

I'll tack a manifold together tomorrow once the steel place opens and put up a pic for scrutiny.

Maybe just make them how u want to fit them and if any one wants some modified or changed design then they can fork out extra $$ or u could be redesigning these for weeks...

Ok, I've made a start on a prototype.

Still a bit to do, but you should get the idea. They will be small off the head flange (1")pipe, Same size as I use on my race car. Then there is a tapered section that the other small runners will run into. It tapers up to 1 1/4. I wanted it to be simple with easy access to all the manifold bolts.

Yes. No need to make it fit a coupe or sedan or early ute.

DD, Feel free to design one turbo manifold that fits every car ever built with an A12. In the meanwhile I'll just do the best I can.

I feel like I should add to 72datto's post by saying I'm in the same boat with checking the updates regularly.

While its not the path I plan on going down personally with my build, I still love to read the process and thank you for the effort you're putting in for the community!
