Default Zetec turbo RWD which inlet?

Hi all,

i have recently purchased a E21 bmw and i want to remove the 1.8 currently fitted and put a 2.0 zetec turbo in it,

only i cant find a inlet manifold that will have the throttle body at the front of the engine when fitted, i know the common one used is rover turbo inlet but the throttle body will be the wrong end of the engine.

has anyone got a ZT RWD if so what inlet have you used?

any help/info would be great

cheers
steve

what sort of power was yours making?

i done one before with a efi inlet and it made 230bhp, but i dont want the inlet pipe to run ove rthe top of the engine really.

im considering a area six inlet as i want about 340-360 reliable bhp

get in touch with kit car company's mate as they all use zetec engine's. If you write zetec plenum in ebay it'll come up a company called pepperperformance. They make them for turbo use with map sensor ports ect.
