Inlet manifold

[aelred]

I was looking inside a Fiat Barchetta 5 cylinder turbo (well at list I think what it was) and noticed that they have a nice compact 2 part inlet manifold. The runners and plennum chamber are separate.

I thought that could be useful for the many convertions that people do instead of using the 100 S4 modified inlet manifold. The throttle will be in the right place in front of the rad.

I wished i had my camera at the time.

Has any one looked into this before?

will the bolting up be the same as the 5 cyl head though?

What I think is the you can cut an Audi manifold and retaing the bolting and injector pattern and connect it to the Fiat plennum via tubes ie.: silicon tubes.
The Fiat one works in that way.
