the car has nothing to do with it. 
same engine, same too low turbo mounting. and most probably same embarrasing oil smoke on idle.. 
if you cut it just above/on top of the heat sheild bolt hole you see in the pic, you might be lucky enough to have the 2 lower runners still inline. i cut it a litte bit too much higher than the heat sheild bolt hole when i went to modify it again and the 2 lower runners where moving away from each other making it hard to put a flange on.
to give you an idea of my turbo placement/height, the turbo flange is now inline with the top of the oil filter boss on the block.
whereas before it was about 1/2 way down the oil filter boss.

feral - did you cut and reweld a Cast iron manifold? I know it's not recommended (unless you get correct welding rods etc) doing this but was wondering if you had shonked something up successfully

Wouldn't you have more space to work with in your mr2 compared with the limited space i have in my FWD ie. between radiator and block or is it practicaly the same?

HAHAHA
The MR2 isn't exactly the most spacious engine bay. Just think of the MR2 bay as the same as a corolla bay with a firewall instead of a radiator.
