Don't think so....

I don't think so for the second time as it couldn't be put on the other
side unless they went to a cross-flow head design, which the certainly
didn't do.
You could use a much easier design than the MC EM as that type of EM
involves bending the RF tie-rod. You could simply use a 5000 turbo diesel
manifold and turbo (small K24 that puts out all its boost at 2k RPM)
because the td's turbo has an integral wastegate which doesn't need a MC
manifold, nor bending the RF tie-rod. That's what Mike Gough used in his
car at least and I know for sure it works well even with the stock CIS-E.

Dunno about this one... but it was my 0.02 cents worth of opinion :-)
