Default zetec turbo inlet

Hi

What inlet mani's are you lads running on your zetec turbos?

I've bought a rover turbo inlet for mine, and it looks like a nightmare to get it to fit in the bay.

Any easy solutions or better manifolds?

**as a quick edit: I have a focus 2.0mk1 plastic inlet, would this work with boost or be too weak?**

Dave

according to alex the kid (rs conversion in 1.6 ebony) he said a good while ago to me that the standard focus rs inlet manifold is the exact same as the 2l zetec e in the focus. same part number too aparently. a quick ring to ford or a tuner will be able to confirm this and i know alex is running 310 - 320 ish bhp if not a little more.

again a tuner will know what max pressure they can handle.

They are the same except the throttle body , a focus rs inlet even says 1.8/2.0l on in it
my mate is running one on his 350hp zetec turbo puma!
