Thanks for all your replies. I've decided on a simple link pipe from the standard manifold to the relocated turbo mounted above the gearbox. I've picked up some thick steel pipe with nice tight, but smooth manderel bends in it which used to be part of a Scania truck engine's intake pipework. James has sorted me some uprated rods and they're sat in my kitchen. Just some bearings, ARP head studs and a couple of other bits and bobs are left to source and my exhaust to build and the build can start.
Does anyone know what other people have done to keep the power steering with this conversion? I'm hoping I can fit a 306 pump to the auxiliary belt end of the engine, as my current non turbo engine has its pump on the gearbox end of the motor. This can't swap over to the turbo engine. ( or just man up and fit a standard non power rack and put up with the horrible notchy steering that old French cars have ).
