   Seen some turbo manifolds on ebay but are expensive ones -
   
   I like the look of this one :

   But i also have manifold and cat from when my car was 1.1 for a mk2 random pic
   
   
   I can weld and fabricate but can this be used to create a decent manifold for the turbo or will it be crap is it too restrictive?
   
   Are there any manifold off other car's that will line up with the turbo and the engine with minimal/no modification ?

   Don't need fancy manifold for turbo cars really, at most ppl's level of tune
   
   Can make mass power on a pretty basic manifold if you wanted to

   Thanks thats good to know so getting a £300 one like at the top is pointless apart fron itll look pretty damn nice, are there any cars that will have a similar manifold that would be less work/look nicer to adapt ?

   Are these the correct measurements to make the manifold to turbo plate to?

   Yep pretty much, then once you have the turbo then you get the flange that fits flush to the turbo
