was talking about turbo manifold. guess i will need uim too. i've seen adapters to put fd uim on fc lim. if this can be done, a twin turbo 1st gen would seriously move.

Spend the time (and money) to build it right. I can't tell you how many builds I have seen grenade because shortcuts were taken.
If you are running a S5 motor stick with the single. It will do you just fine and save money. If you want the look of the FD manifold there are adapters that you can purchase.
Of you want more information on the FD swap I posted a thread the help individuals like yourself. Good luck. It can be a long road, but the rewards are well worth it. No car scares the **** out of you like a turbo FB.

If your wanting to run a S5 NA block with the FD intake, your in for alot of fab work. You can get an intake adapter to run a S5 turbo LIM to mate to the S5 NA block. Then you will need an adapter to run the FD UIM with the S5 turbo LIM. The you will need a spacer between the turbo manifold and engine block to clear all that cobbled up intake. Then the turbo will hit the frame. Then you will have the whole issue of tuning with the high compression NA 9.7 rotors. Problem after problem. Easiest solution is to find a TII 4 port engine to start with. Do some research into this before you get started.
