Default EFI Inlet Manifold

I'm finding it difficult to find an EFI manifold for my RST since I'm not from England. I found this one on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...0851&rd=1&rd=1

From my research it's a job done by www.headtune.co.uk What do you think about it guys?

Thats not a RST manifold its a normally aspirated item.

Its essentially the same thing, but the IAT is different.......and the reducer to fit a FRST IAT is no longer available from Ford..........

You could probably machine up a reducer easy enough, the proper IAT is available, just not the thread reducer

All the EFI manifold castings are the same, but the FRST sensor is a smaller thread size
