WTB: 8v Turbo Mani w/ T3



The TD manifold outlets to the topside for the turbo - which makes it very
difficult to accomodate an intake manifold of any size.  The TD intake is
very thin and tall.  A crossflow head might be OK, because then your
intake would be well out of the road of the turbo.

The following blowup details the TD manifold and turbo layout for those
who are interested:

If anyone is considering a conversion using TD exhasut manifolds, you may
want to look at using an A3 TD downpipe (only in Canada/Europe) as they
flow much better than the cast iron elbow toilet-bowl version used on the
A1 and A2 cars.
