hey, flipping the manifold can theoretically can work, but i went with the J2 cause of the BW S360 turbo i went with....
No idle issues, i mean it hunts a bit sometimes but once its warm, she huffs and puffs pretty hard with a solid 17hg vacuum. my down pipe barely clears my steering box.. like 3mm clearance.

Will get some updated engine pics up today.

Did the MR2 Electric Power Steering pump swap using the FB/SA power steering box and dam, wish I did this sooner, best mod as far as band for the buck. dramatic difference (as i never had power steering working) nothing exciting about the pics, but see attached.
