you can use the STD manifold, choose a turbo depending on how much boost you want to run... if your just gonna go like 6 or 7lbs, then go with a T-3 or T-25, since your engine propobly isn't built or anything. http://www.homemadeturbo.com

i would read up a little more...inline pro manifolds are 
t3/to4e's are good turbos...if you like drag i say .63 a/r if you like auto x i saw .48 a/r. There a TON more then what you listed...but have fun with your project.

i wasn't trying to compile a complete list of turbos, i was just mentioning a couple he might want to look into... also here is a good forum on turbocharging d series engines.

also on two turbo setups that are identical except for the manifold will the performance difference between the STD and a custom manifold be very much?
