I have the UniQ piggyback ECU in the garage somewhere. I was planning to use some sort of eaton charger to start with.

Nothing stupid, just wanted to give it a boost winkeye

the engine cuts off when breaking and I suspect to be an air leak from here..

Does anyone knows any tricks to seal this off properly?

What exhaust manifolds are those? They don't look to be factory M52 pieces.

Did you have to modify them at all? Looks like you had to shorten the primaries where they meet the flange on the rearward one to clear the steering shaft.

Thanks for the help!
