Thats a nice manifold - mind if i ask what the rough cost is for something like this? Im debating running OTG manifold as i have some space issues!

Really liking the old onions now, some really nice modified examples on this site.

deffo needs a brace, imo all tubular manifolds want bracing, them runners will be glowing red and have a 5-6kg turbo hanging from it .

what were the injectors fitted to mate? if it hasnt been done then you will need to change the o-rings to bosch one's .

try one in the fuel rail or manifold they should be pretty tight and a little oil on the o-rings helps

Gary the injectors came from s2erst on here i believe you may know him ? In that case do you know if they have already been changed or not ? Not sure what inlet they was in.
