Default Manifold help......

Evening all

need some help
picked a tubular manifold up today was built for some-one else but they gave up on the project and were selling bits off.

Problem ive got is the flange for the turbo points down and not out like standard manifold, My engine is at my unit and i cant get down there till tommorow eve to offer it up because it looks like the turbo will be very close (if not hit) the cylinder head.
Its bugging me allready so was hopeing som1 has somthing simular fitted to there CVH turbo and could shed some light on the situation for me.

thanks


picture not very good sorry.

The flange on my manifold also points down..... because my CVH engine is in a fiesta RS Turbo and therefore as standard runs with a T2!!!! not the T3 in an escort!

make me an offer by PM if you can not get it to work for you!

Thanks Brendan
Its was defo purchased for a S2 as the lad had all the bits there and box says so on it but I just dont see how it is going to fit, I have a machined t3 compressor housing with T34 internals but even if it did fit without hitting the cylinder head it would still need choping about as exhaust down pie will be faceing at the block thought T2 had a 3 bolt fange fixing too?

you need to adjust the turbo, undo the bolts then rotate the parts so everything lines up
