I'd suggest your best chance of a reply is to repost your question in the Elite brake forum. -

I'm surprised at the misalignment of the turbo outlet & plenum intake??? -
You're not wrong. Steve said " I removed the belt from the pulleys to do the valve gaps" so I think there's a fair chance some of the exhaust tappets are too tight.

I think your first job is to recheck them.

With my S4s the manifold would be glowing after a good run but after a few minutes idling, to let the turbo cool, the glowing would have faded away. Just saying.

Pictures together with the Team Lotus bus for 1956 Le Mans 24 hrs. 😁

I assume you mean the manifold is glowing red during a normal drive, not after a thrashing which is normal? What have you done to the engine, just changed the belt or what???? A little more info would be useful.

Maybe some toothbrushes stuck to the front to give them a wipe when the lights went up & down?
