Default Decent turbo manifold for D-series

I am doing some research for a friend of mine....

He has a 94 Civic VTi and is looking to build and turbocharge that motor.

Now I know that short of an outright swap, there is little to do to that car (the ZC head wont fit) and I have tried to convince him on the ways of doing a swap, at least a B18 or a B20. However, he claims he ios poor so he will just boost the motor for now.

My question is, what are some good turbo manifolds for the D-series motors?

Please excuse my ignorance but I have no clue when it comes to H / A motors.... I know the very basics about them, but I wont lie, I am not an H / A guy.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

If he's interested in a homemade setup i can show him mine and help him build it.Total cost with fuel management was somewhere around $600.

yeah they sell them on ebay... really cheap and look nice... and of course they get the job done... they use equal length runners so that really helps spool up time alot... i have seen these installed on a few cars and the power gains were impressive for a manifold that you can buy WITH a tial 35mm wastegate for about 300 on ebay.... good stuff if u ask me... i might have to get one to try out before going to SFP, Full Race, or Love Fab....
