Quite similar to the Dhalback Racing 1.8T inlet, which is also proven to work well

Finish looks fine to me and the stacks are on the inlet manifold,not the plenum.....

unsure if he has decided on a final price yet m8

best to ring him.

it is the 1 used on rods engine.

they are 'O' ringed to the inlet and the TB so no chance of leaking.

This looks very nice, who is Joe Stevens does he have som sort of website that shows his products?

The Dahlbäck inlet is a copy of the ones used on the Skoda Fabia WRC cars.
I think its made by Lehman that did the GrB Sport quattros

Having seen one in the flesh, the finnish is "ok" at best

They do what they are meant to, which is all that matters though
