Re: Cast manifolds for turbo setup
Depends on how much power your already making, as well as how much you are looking to make. Why not just get a used tubular header setup for a SBC for cheap, flip the passenger side header and weld it any way that you want to. Much easier to do...

Re: Cast manifolds for turbo setup
I agree with Street. That setup will only be good to about 600-700 HP. If you need more flow go with a tuned header. The manifold has the advantage of more energy to the turbo due to less heat loss from thicker material and less sq. area.
Usually budget build turbo setups are on budget build sub-600hp engines so the manifolds are a good fit. Throw some stock manifolds on a junk 250-300hp engine with a tiny cam and 15psi and now you have a 600hp engine.
