Cheers Wal. Work mate has done the work. Yea carbs all setup with neoprene gaskets and work on the plenum/air box will start soon. Bit worried about space but should be ok.

Nice looking manifold Micheal. Is the turbo high enough to gravity feed the oil return to the sump?
Looking forward to seeing a photo with the carbs in place and plenum mocked up!

Yea it's at least 100mm so should be ok. It's a 20mm ID drain pipe so hopfully be more than adequate .
At worst I'll put an oil restrictor in the feed line. Wastegate pipe is now welded on.
