Yeah thats modifying engines for you. I'm not saying the manifold in question is any good, merely pointing out that you kinda go it alone when fitting a Garret to a LET or indeed performing conversions of any kind.

What you describe is an inferior product no doubt available on ebay, sadly all too common. Such is the desire to meddle with cheap mass production cars! lol

shorely thats just more cheep crap just more work fitting to a let

same crap different fitment

i agree it is but the point i was making is, its equal length which i would much rather choose if i was going to buy cheap crap! i dont see the point in buying anything other when you can pickup one up for £99.
