I wonder if this is a TT or janspeed single turbo setup for the ford 2.8V6 cologne motor?
These mounted a turbo on one side of the engine (on one vee), and a pipe from round the other side if the engine lead into the manifold.

The Turbine housing looks sized for a 3-litre engine...

Block is a later one - so 'could' be a turbo block; but you're right about the clutch for sure... Pistons certainly 'look' large dished...

I can't argue with that.

I guess he knows it won't fit which is why he is selling it. Probably because he bout it off a lying tosser too.

I sent him a second message, and he said he was taking it off ebay..... but he hasn't so far. pointed out his manifold has 2 ports and the mini head has 3.

Hi,
Went for £200!
Dave .. You're spot on, I've got one of those manifolds from when I used to run a 2.8 turbo Capri. I think that's the Capri turbo too, as it's got the extra bend on the compressor outlet.
Cheers,
Gavin :)
