hiya phil,
i am still looking for someone to make my manifold - so the existing stays for the time being. i intend to replace part of the intake side soon - but i'll probably keep the exhaust and repair/modify as needed.
i keep getting these respones like "...why don'tcha put a newer engine init' mate? ..."
which leads me to wonder if they heard my original request "...can you, for money, fabricate a manifold to my design..." which they must of interpreted as "whataboutanewmanifold ... mate?" - unless it's imported, costs more-per-kilo than coke and the sticker's are surfboard size, they sometimes don't seem interested... (or maybe it's my cheery personality) 
people100: a stock 18RG might only handle up to 5psi or so of boost - possibly even less. if your sticking with the factory dizzi, you might want to get mechanical advance modded to start at higher revs (2500rpm) and provide less total mechanical advance (about 15 degrees) so when the vacuum advance kicks in you don't get engine-destroying pinging at high boost. you'll also need bigger injectors otherwise you'll run lean on boost. i don't think the factory ECU will give you enough fuel on boost - could you adapt an ECU from a motor that knows boost?
might be worth your while talking to some of the turbo companies in BNE (do a yellowpages search for turbochargers) about what your planning.'
