Chris / Dave,
For about $99 you could try it out for size. Details and pictures of my 
setup are at http://canardaviation.com/cozy/chap29h.htm and search for 
"XS Power manifold". Unfortunately, looking at the pictures of my turbo 
installed on the manifold, the turbo ends up too high, right where your 
injectors are. If it were me, I'd move the injectors :) Perhaps that's 
actually the simplest path. 4 bosses, 4 welds and you're done.

One thought that comes to mind for me is supporting the turbo. I realize 
that you may be planning to add this later, but please don't forget - I 
think supporting the weight of the turbo from the top independent of the 
manifold is essential to avoiding cracks in the manifold.

I hope this helps.
John
