this may be a daft question but someone has to ask it.

is the only inlet manifold option a metty turbo one when putting together a HIF44 / T3 engine build?

or are there other options and which is best?

i know there are lots of inlet manifolds when it comes to an n/a build but i didnt know if they were viable in a turbo situation.

Standard MG Metro ones are a good upgrade - although you may have slight issues with the thickness of the flanges.

That's debatable, as I'm sure Mr Austin flow tested them both, & despite looks the Turbo manifold flowed almost as well as the NA MG one.

Flanges are a lot thicker (3 - 3.5mm) on a turbo manifold, both inlet and exhaust so if you mix turbo and N/A either way around you have to make up stepped washers (or thick "C" washers which are a pain to hold in place while fitting the main washer).

Also the N/A doesn't have the upside down "J" slots that the turbo does allowing it to be fed in from the top, the N/A has "C" slots meaning it has to follow the length of the stud so both manifolds have to be installed together. Even then, it might foul the exhaust without some metal removal. I never got that far.....
