Rover turbo inlet
Just wondering if there's still a demand on these as a lot of zetec turbo build are using custom inlets, I have one that I no longer need as I'm not building a ZT now but if its not sort after ill tuck it away?

You'll be surprised mate. When I was looking for mine there were either none at the time or stupid money! They split the fuel rail, injectors and inlet to sell them separately. Going rates are roughly £50 for inlet. £20 for fuel rail and £60 for injectors

You could still use it for N/A mate. Just look daft if its the turbo logo and not the injection. They are very good though! Plus cossie throttle bodies are a straight fit and size matched

The M series inlet was better flowing than the T series one everyone chooses to run. I swapped to an M series when I had my 220turbo 10years ago.

Very true! But getting an M now is like getting pete burns to want to be a bloke!
slim chance!
Its hard enough to get a T. But i would say to anyone, if they find one BUY IT!!

Yep for a good clean set! Blue bands are worth a couple of quid more. Well that's what I found searching for decent injectors

M series plenum is slightly larger. Same mods apply to both ie. people shortening the neck. Same adapter plate etc.

I think so. The T has either Turbo or Injection written on the top. Both exactly the same thought. I prefer the turbo logo myself, but nothing stops you grinding it off.

Exactly, each to their own. I like how the intake sits and looks in general. The logo is irrelevant. It's funny how the ports are a 99% match but still flows better than standard items

I don't know tbh mate. I thought it was their own. But I could be wrong. Their selling the sets for £250 ish, so they could be re branding them

I ordered mine from dd and cat cams springs came, but from what I can work out they are not off the shelf stuff, so would need to double check

Yeh there special order hence why you get them through DD as they know the sizes, as cat cams don't do them for a zetec so to speak they do them in size/S rating/height etc
