Yeah you'll want to get a manifold for a B-series. Some people say you can modify the manifolds to fit but I wouldn't do it, it just doesnt line up right. The Greddy kits use Mitsu turbos and most B-series kits (Drag, Maxrev etc) use T3/T4 turbos, so I would think the only B-series manifold you could find off the shelf that would work would be the Greddy B-series manifold since those also use Mitsu turbos. Or go with a custom manifold.

you can use that manifold that comes with the kit but the two outer bolts need to be modified i believe. i remember seeing a site with a guy that had an LS with that kit in his del sol and was running a 12.xx at 10 PSI with stock internals. Only add-ons were a fuel pump and ignition. Can't find the link but he cracked a cylinder when he tried 12 PSI.

awesome.
that's the info i needed.
modification to the piping?
does anyone know how much this will cost?
i think going this route will leave me extra money for the add-ons i.e. turbo timer, boost gauge, etc.

boost gauge should not be considered an accessory!! VITAL.
