RS turbo engine with RS16i rocker cover and inlet

What turbo inlet are people using with the motorsport rocker cover as the cross over pipe covers the most important part the ford motorsport logo. I've seen the xr3i inlet used is this possible?

Not a straight forward fit, though.

This ones had the throttle body flange removed and re-angled, steel injector sleeves pressed into the injector plate, fuel rail mounts added, parts of the manifold ground to clear injectors and rail etc, new holes drilled and tapped for sensors and vac lines.
