Is there an off the shelf manifold available anywhere?

I have seen them for the focus, and when I was talking to them they reckoned it would fit.
But, I can't remember who made it!
Might have been these:

The manifold I was looking at was tubular though

My friend has one in his rs focus I can ask where he got it from as it's basically the same engine...

The only problem i can see is clearance because theres not alot of space at the back on the engine,just get a s60r manifold and port it out.

Holy thread resurrection!
I already have an S60R manifold - however if I want to run a GT series garrett, which has a T25 exhaust housing (genuine garrett part) - issue is how to mate it up? Turbo Dynamics say they wont hybridise a GT2871 with a T3 housing?
Any ideas how to get around this problem? Will said T3 manifold fit my cylinder head?

If you can get me a t25 gasket ill draw it up on cad and see how much difference there is. I think uoud beable to get it machined

Mine just has an addapter welded onto the original t5 manifold, you can just about see it here:

I was concerned that with an adaptor, it would make things difficult on firewall clearance. But obviously not!

Mine is running a T25 flange too, I had a T25 flange welded to the end of a ME7 manifold, then retapped it all.
Sort of thinking now that this...
Will serve me better - less change of direction. Online research tells me it should clear & has the option to run an external wastegate should I want to.

I have emailed them to double check about clearance & fitting.

If it goes on the newer T5 engines (2006 onwards) - I can't see why it wouldn't fit the older stuff.

Only issues I can see is that the orientation of the inlet housing would have to be rotated. I am also wondering about the WG position?

Check out brickboard (or something similar) which shows you can't fit one in the older models unless you want to run the post turbo hose downwards. You have to put the hot side on the passenger side and compressor on the drivers side (RHD). Not worth the effort for the power gain.
Imagine how the P-II models are running and you'll get the picture.

Wrote to LG Speed - Lars was not convinced it would clear the brake servo - which is a real shame.
I have not heard back from J W racing yet. I have tried phoning them, but no joy.
I guess I am either going to have to weld on a T25 adaptor OR get something made OR use a different turbo that has a T3 inlet as standard.
