I wanna turbo my RHD 1st gen

Decided to go for some boost in my RHD 1st gen. I can't use any of the turbo manifolds made here because my steering box is in the way. I need a manifold to bring the turbo forward. I'm thinking of getting this one pictured below. He wants 260.00 shipped from AUS. Do you think it's a good deal? Also how much will I be spending to do the conversion? Going for a blow-through setup. Below is my eng specs

Old school 13B ported plates
-se rotor housings
S5 rotating assy
-se tranny
RB racing PP and 4 puck clutch.

What will i need to buy? Going to start and get items now.. Thanks

Everyone should go turbo. I would look at getting a custom one made.

i vote for a custom manifold, too. with a RB header-to-engine flange and some tubing, all you'd need is just the flange pattern for whichever turbo you choose. i can't imagine you'd exceed $260 for that ...
