   So been having a look around at different options on the possible but inevitable route for me.
   
   First I aint gonna spend the money on a £300 car so I do a lot of work myself.
   
   So got a question I've found a manifold it's off the 106/saxo 1.4 TU3 and I'm pretty sure with a little drill n tap I can make a ko3/4 fit it
   
   Anyone know if the head exhaust bolt pattern is the same ?
   
   Certainly looks a usable design for a cast manifold

   Chuck a pic up dude, you might need an angled plate for it to get the turbo sitting straight

   Be easier to just make an adapter for the cast mani off the vtr mate
   
   Then your not limited by space, angle of turbo etc
   
   And you know the port spacing will ne the same, as i don't know if they are, those mani"s sit on the opposite side of the engine to the petrol lumps so the head design is totally diff
