The full-race manifold is really over-kill for a T3/T4. Invest the money on a BB upgrade for the turbo and make sure it's also water-cooled if you can.
I still think you're better off just buying a kit that's out there already.

the kit i bought was a kit that is made by a new company called D&S so it comes with everything except the emanage or other type of ems...i talked with a owner with this kit on his car and he is stock except the turbo kit...he said he has had 11k miles with out one problem.. not that i realy believe that to much but the company is will to back me up when i'm instaling this kit... they have done quite a few s2k turbo kit installs and a butt load of civic and integra turbos as well.

I dont understand what you mean buy overkill..... the only advantage of the FR manifold is that it is equal length.... it allows the gas/air to flow better..... it is just like saying a toda (closest equal length header in the market) header is overkill for a lightly modded s2000.... with just the FR upgrade many turbo GSR have seen upto >20 RWHP with the same amount of boost. Their cars spool out faster due to a decrease in back pressure and it produces more RWHP.... I personally think it is about efficiency... anyone can make 400 RWHP.. I think it would be cooler to make it with the least amount of boost.....

Remember, he did say his funds are not an issue....
The stuff he listed is a lot like inline pro's kit. Most people just make a custom setup either for insane power or to save money.

A T3/T04E is too small to have any clearance issues. The FR manifold is definately a piece of art that's for sure.
My manifold isn't built yet. I'm still waiting for my custom spec GT35R to get to me
