get the full HO manifold from a mondeo or rs1800.
that's what i'm using in my zetec turbo in my xr2
they only tested the SO manifold in FF, so the HO one must/should flow better and retain good torque due to long inlet runners.

Going by this, the SO appears to have a wider bore one way while the HO is wider the other so maybe the performance difference isnt as great as folk think ?
