Default D16y8 intake manifold swap

Planning to turbo my D16y7 and wanted to know if its worth it to swap to a D16y8 intake manifold or go skunk2 intake manifold?

Er, swap a VTEC head onto it WITH the manifold. Depending on the power goal? use the Y8.

It's not about "how much boost do you plan on running". You can't even ASK this question if you don't know what turbo it is. You don't even know of the block is built, or plan on being built OR if it's just going to stay stock.

i wish people would stop saying this.
