sorry to sound thick but what does iirc mean?

where did simo get his from? looks a nice bit of kit, and how much??

also how do people do the oil pick up on these, i understand you take a pressure feed from somewhere (oil switch??) and then gravity return to???? somewhere?

not sure about simo's manifold, if you read the section about his car on the sax-p homepage it may shed some light.
oil feed is taken from oil pressure switch and weld a return onto the side of the sump, or into the oil level sensor iirc

"4-2-1 branch Turbo Manifold 450.00 "
"Budget Turbo exhaust manifold. Avail to suit T2/T25/T28/T3 Turbos 300.00 "

Both availible from http://www.hiflowheads.co.uk/ but I'm sure GMC could sort you out.
