I just ordered a different manifold from Mazdatris (which is coming from Austrailia), and I am going to first check to see if it fits as is. (see attached photo) It is a simple 90 degree bend, with the throttle body mounting vertical on it.  If it is too high, I have a guy all lined up that can bend the aluminum tubing, and another guy who is going to weld it up for me. The advantage is, that the four intakes go into two right away, cast into the first bend.  
 
I'll be really interested to hear what you think about it when it arrives.  This could be just the ticket for me as well.  I've been looking at the manifold that we both have, and wondering how to cut it off and modify it to fit closer to the engine.  The manifold that you just ordered might make that easier.  
 
Thanks,
Rusty (leaning toward keeping the turbo)
