Default Custom Turbo Manifold, will it flow?

im starting to piece together a turbo kit for my 93' civic dx and a couple days ago me and my brother fabbed up this little turbo mani. iv heard of people modifing HF mani's for turbo so i figured i wasn't pioneering anything. but my question is will this homemade piece flow as good as perhaps a basic cast iron turbo mani log? should i just scrape this and buy a real turbo mani?
im using a holset hx30 turbo, and i plan on using the car for daily driving running 8psi with a stock d15b7 motor...

I admire you and your brothers creativity, it will work but I wouldnt expect the world from it, but for a stock block single cam I say go for it If anything I would cut that divider out of the flange its not going to help much without a divided/pulse paired collector.

Cut the divider, smooth it out a bit and use it. Looks good!
