Which Inlet Manifold (Zetec Turbo)
Which is the best inlet manifold to use on my 2.0 zetec turbo??
I have a rover turbo one but would a EFI one be better??
Would a Rs 1800 one bolt striaght onto my 2.0 head??
The engine will have about 300bhp
Thanks Brian

The rover one will flow more than the other 2 you've mentioned. The EFi one is next to useless as the ports aren't even close to being lined up.
Use the rover inlet

The EFI needed an adapter plate to fit the Zetec head and it wasn't matched very well
The RS1800 was a tuned version of the EFI manifold and mated straight to a zetec head.
Ahmed did a lot of flow tests comparing different inlet and the RS1800 was his choice

But the XR2i 16V had a zetec head and EFI manifold, I'd always thought the RS1800 was special because of the size of the throttle housing and the insides where tuned to be a better match
