Default intake manifold and turbo questions. skunk2 sufficient? yes i searched

Long story short : I bought a built engine from someone, it is missing some ****.

my question is about intake manifolds. first off my set up

b16a
decked, sleeved, p&p
crower cams
crower retainers
je pistons
eagle rods
T3/T4 Turbonetics hybrid ball bearing turbo (running around 12ish psi daily)

I need to get a intake manifold. But which one. Some people suggested either going with a STR maxx air, or the Venom one. Both are around $700. I know that these are probably the best flowing IMs out there, but how much difference would it be if i just got the cheaper skunk2, or maybe a JG eddlebrock one.

I also heard that portmatching the skunk2 one would be more difficult? dunno

Lemme know thx bye la~

I don't know about the other brands but I have always trusted Edelbrock.

I'm probably going to go with that Victor X mani that Edelbrock has. It's a little more than the skunk but if you look at the comparison between the two, the edelbrock will eat the skunk2.
