Anyone interested in a K-series turbo manifold (MGF/TF)?

There seems to be a strengthening in the level of interest for turbo conversions on our MGs at the moment, so I have enquired at BBR GTi for their MGF/TF turbo exhaust manifold. Those with long memories will recall that they retailed three levels of tune for turbo K-series conversions at around the time of the millenium (ranging from a low-pressure turbo (168bhp for £5K fitted) to a full-house £POA 300bhp conversion). Initial inquiries suggested that they had some of these original turbo exhaust manifold castings left over, subsequent responses have sadly indicated not.



This is their most recent reply:

So I have speculatively suggested that I would gauge the level of interest, and asked them how many orders they'd need to justify casting some fresh manifolds.



Let me know if you are interested in one! Just interest at this time - I have no idea what they'd cost (I've asked for an estimate), so no commitment needed at this time :)



I suspect that a custom tubular manifold may be the way forward, but we shall see! :)
