It's all the rest of the little details that take up the effort...
Really, any commercially produced TurboNA kit should be based on a custom exhaust manifold that properly clears...

Just so you guys know....
If you want a custom manifold, almost all manifolds made to fit a 13bT in a first gen will work to clean the LIM on a 6port motor... They position the turbo much further forward.
I know i've already said it before.. but just incase you guys didn't know..
I was using one on my turbo/N/A motor. You obviously can no longer run the air pump (not that i've tried...).
I know there are MANY companies selling them in australia.. They would most likely all fit without hassles.. Although your mileage may vary..

$38 for two without shipping... plus the cost of piping and welding for a home made looking part.... OR
$70-$90 for a proffesional looking premade part, no hassels not worries so you can spend the rest of your time on the intercooler piping ect....
That's cool if no ones intgerested that's why i posted...I'll make a few and if they sell they sell if not EBAY....

An well made adaptor will work only as well (not better) than stock, and will cost a bunch of money. However nearly all of the TB "adaptor plates" I've seen on NA-Turbo conversions were far from well made and wouldn't flow nearly as well.
As for the exhaust manifolds White_FC referred, here's a few Aussie links I found from a quick Google Australia search. There are bound to be many more.
