Think you will find a custom manifold will be the only (expensive) solution...
It give me an excuse to buy a TIG welder (I have been looking for one!), I have a friends that I can use quite often, happy to cut and shut it as necessary they are only 178+ delivery so no big one... once I have done one then perhaps I can do some more...

I am currently looking for confirmation that my MAP has deleted primary cats, I have a suspicion that its deleting NOX cat - i.e. NOX sensor... Why, well I know my NOX sensor is intermittent (INpa f5/shift f2 in 2.023 loader from memory) and my car car happily runs in Stratified mode (inpa f9/f1/f1 again from memory). If my theory is correct then I'm cutting the NOX cat of ASAP! And this provides another benefit of tuning as NOX stuff is crap and unreliable.
