Do they slap against the steering column?
Can it be modded to fit or cure it?

Both are for the LHD manifolds only dudes !

Jon Volk ( 666 ) may be able to make a RHD suited unit for you, but it wont be cheap, very very nice work though

I cant see it hitting steering shaft tbh, but might do if wastegate pipes are in bad place, the problem is you need a LHD manifold which is what I think ant means by LHD only. I can sell you a pair of LHD manifolds I didnt use tho if you really want one. Make you own tube manifold, I got bits I need for £80, jig turbo in position and get to work, pics of mine will be up once I finished my bro bloddly rear quater. Look at the one ant did for M40 in other thread aswell maybe you could pay him to make you one.

making it aint a prob lol, just wondering what kinda clearance issues il have, and what benefit the LHD manifold would give, ie massive clearanc benefits or minimal

It wont give any benefits, likely there will be less clearance then with a tube manifold. Loads of room on M20 for turbo mani. Best you can do is make your own 6-1 direct tube mani from thick mild steel pipe. Mild steel is good.

if i go 6->1 il go SS or iconel, what i meant bout the LHD manifold was would it offer more clerance over the RHD manifold IF i was to use the manifold adapter idea.

hope that is a bit clearer - sorry im tired lol

No, less clearnce the exit on the LHD 4/5/6 mani is pointing right at your sterring shaft, the only thing that might be bad with a RHD mani is you have both exitis right next to each other so its tight for making ports line up right I expect. Its not worth using SS imo

How clearance is there to play with under the LHD 4/5/6?
