I would use a set of 45mm DCOE style jenvey's on Jenvey/DCOE inlet manifold (same as if the engine was N/A) then make an inlet plenum to feed the throttle bodies, some care as to be taken when designing the plenum to insure near equal flow to each of the 4 throttles (this is only a problem when full throttle), jenvey do make a turbo plenum for this purpose but it is expensive.

In my opinion the log type manifolds often used on zetec's in locost cars are rubbish, the build quality is poor and no thought appears to have been given to air flow, but i do recognize space restrictions hamper a proper design.
