Default DSM turbo manifold???????

Maybe this is a stupid question and may have been asked many times already, but would it be possible to modify the turbo manifold from any of the 1st or 2nd gen dsm's to fit our b-series motors? I mean, as far as I know, the dsm turbos are 2.0 liter dohc's and the motor faces the same way ours does. Is it possible in any way? Would a muffler shop be able to weld it to fit?
Also, I'm not rolling in dough so would it be possible to modify our exhaust manifold to make it into a turbo manifold?
Thanx for any help and yes I'm a newbie when it comes to turbo so yeah, any help is appreciated. The search function wasn't too helpful with answering these questions.

I saw that too.

You might be able to do it. I think the problem is even if the runners line up right, the bolts prolly wont. What car is this for?

Lots of good info for people with tight budget

yup...i had a friend with a f-series prelude and he put the eclipse manifold on it. as far as i know, he didn't have to do much to make it go on there. too bad that he blew his motor up.

thanx for the input so far. i was asking the question because if I'm able to find a 14b (preferably) or a t25 (if i have to) turbo, i was thinking i might as well take the manifold as well since it'll already fit the turbo. if so, it'll be going on a '90 LS.
thanx
