if you can afford the fab costs or have the ability to fab the manifold yourself... do it. my twin project is taking a lot of work to get everything going because of the header fabrication

Go for it. As long as you know that it CANNOT be done cheaply. Plan on spending as much as is possible (even though you may not have to). Murphy's great Law states "if something can go wrong it will". Don't cut corners. Spend the time and energy (money) to do things properly. Start with low boost (no more than 5psi) and gradually increase boost after a while and listen for knocking. You don't want to start at 10psi and then fry the engine.

Good luck.
