Hi Guys,
Great site! 
Been lurking for a while.
Hellbus (or others) In your conversion you have a 180º bend between the inlet manifold and the throttle body.
Did you make this or buy? Please could you give details of either.
71EJVan, awesome stuff also.
Keep up the good work guys. You're inspiration.

look up custom off road comes and goes above your post

You could make one using mandrel bent tube and 1/4 plate but I doubt you would save much by the time you welded it, surfaced the flanges and supplied
gaskets.

Hi
What about reversing you intake manifold? Also rather than do a 180, what about a 90 so the TB is pointing straight up.
Steve
You can buy the toroid section used to make the adaper at most exhaust shops. If your fabrcation skills are ok, you could make one yourself, as
71EJVan said.

It is pretty much a given that the Custom Off Road unit WILL fit, WILL work and has no inherent tricks that I could see. Why reinvent the wheel if you don't have to?
True the COR units are good, but some people just like to do things themselves if they can.1303Steve was asking about pointing his straight up which would require special fabrication
Thanks for the replies guys 
I saw it on one of your photos and thought "that'll save loadsa grief" ie won't have to make up a new alternator bracket, extend wiring etc.
I'm in the UK so buying one over there and getting it shipped might not be reasonable cost wise.
You guys do some fantastic stuff - Keep it up :thumb
There's a UK site http://www.vwkd.co.uk where there's a few of us UK guys on there ie
RichBaker, RJES, Ricolla etc
I have a 2 litre Scooby Imp Sport lump waiting to have a new home sitting in my garage
Helbus - love your throttle mod. I used to have the Type 4 2 litre. Valve guide snapped and goosed the head, other head had a receeding valve seat.
Almost as cheap to do a conversion - bigger smiles though
Hey if the wife can do a 1/4 mile drag in 17.83 sec at 75mph with a stock EJ22, it was worth it, including the fuel economy and ease of start.
all round
Hi
No need to reinvent the wheel, but you can always improve on a wheel. The COR one looks a bit thugly and sits very high. My point about turning it
only 90 degrees is that it would keep its profile much lower.
I made the exhaust for my turbo WBX it was no big deal, just went down the road and bought some mandrel bends or a exhaust donut and got the local
profile cutting guy to make the flanges and a bit of cutting and welding and I was done.

I think I have one subaru to vw adapter plate & fly wheel left out of the run .I need to check when the sun comes up .
Seagull, I need an adaptor and flywheel. If they are finished, buzz me and pop it in the post.
