Do I have to use a Metro Turbo inlet?

I have a nice thick PECO inlet, which I'm using as part of my stage one kit...

I was wondering if I could use that?

The turbo inlet is a little taller than most of the 'stage 1' so gives more clearence under the carb for a heat sheild etc.

I guess you could use a normal one if you have clearence but you might cook the fuel..... always used a tuebo one myself.

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

Just been out to look at my engine as it's out of the car. I don't think you would clear the actuator linkage with the carb even with out a heatsheild on a standard T3 but a T2 on an adapter plate may just ....... although I can't be sure.

Go for a turbo inlet to be sure mate.

Well the inlet I have atm, makes my HIF44 with a K&N...

It actully just about clears the Scuttle... so its a HIGH manifold...

I guess I could always get the bits, and suck and see...

Stig, i'd use the turbo manifold with the mirage bits given a choice.

its the one i have used on my setup. needs a slight bit of modding but its dead easy to do.
