That manifold (after the two extra holes cut out) will fit the M42 just curious

Not only would that be a poor location for a WG, it's also a poor location for the collector. Are you sure you can't fab something better?

It looks like the runners converge at a very steep angle, but its hard to tell from just the top view. Also, the runner lengths couldn't be more uneven, but with limited space to mount the turbo, it probably has to be that way.

Wow, that's a sweet manifold, but probably overkill. What's the rest of your setup gonna be?
