Would an NA running a KAAZ gear set benefit from this?
Can lend you a temperature gauge and appropriate plug that fits the gearbox if you want to have a see what temps you are reaching.
Possibly; the original 2bular SC 4-1 came down the side of the block -
there’s been a couple or 3 copies of it.
but I revised the layout -
taking it well away from the driveshat/boot(trunk!)/frame areas.
I’m sorted then … 
Nothing wrong with the original design JohnBoy - short/fat design, only if you go down the Honda gearbox route you might be in trouble it seems - you thinking about that?
I’m not sure if they actually developed it any further after the first install failed in the way it did.
So many people would be using similar manifold designs to be running the HP needed for the coversion, this would remove too many from the available market

Doh … I miss read , thought we were on about VW box for some reason …
As long as my Toyota box holds out I’m not planning a change

What power output you running now - had a few mods done this year?
25th October please?
yea Jim, you could say I’ve done some mods.
I went across the grain and developed my own package that gave about 307 bhp when last dyno,d (272@the hubs).
I trialed and error’d with different boost and fuelling options until I was happy.
Now the car,s sweet indeed with a rich mixture and a very smooth torque curve …
I seem to have similar output to a Sincs 2.9 pulleyed car ,but probably run less ignition advance and may run cooler due to slightly richer mixture …
I also paid a lot of attention to cooling the intake air.
Very happy with the results …
It would have been easier just to take it to Sinc’s but that would have been too easy !

Interesting - e-mail me if you like John on details. Tried the noise test with the Cat yet? - it was the big 200cell Cat you had btw.
How does the heat exchanger work? Is it crossed plumbed with engine coolant?
Spot on, oil is pumped through the cooler, which sits in the engine coolant hose on the way to the radiator.
Spent all day driving around Bedford testing different intercooler options as Sean has said, also running the gearbox cooler all the time.
There was no increase in coolant temps when the pump was running, so cooling capacity was well within the ability of the standard radiator, and with the AC on most of the time. Gearbox temp never went above 95 degrees.
