Manifold needed for HX52?

Manifold needed for HX52?
Was going to attempt to make my manifold but need to have the car done ASAP and do not have proper tools to do a great job.
I have seen other use an HKS cast manifold on their FCs but I have an REW in my FC.
Could anyone confirm that a cast manifold will work on my setup to save myself some time?

from what i've read(no real personal exp) the fd design has a poor wg runner design. I have ran a hks fc cast manifold for the last 4yrs with no problems. my setup was a precision 6776 with a 40mm hks wastegate. made 400whp on a mustang dyno. never once had a boost control issue either.

maybe I'll source an FC one.
I gave making a manifold another attempt today. I got it so the
turbo will fit, but I'm having a bitch of a time with adapting pipe to the T4 inlet holes.
Any thoughts on that? I'll probably just get an HKS one, but thought Id keep trying in the mean time.

Called a "Holset H2" flange I think. Nothing a drill or an air tool can't fix.
On a side note, I tacked up my manifold today. Fitment is not bad considering it was my first one. It's quite short, probably similar to an HKS. Going to get my friend to help me TIG it on Tuesday and then figure out placement for twin 38mm gates.
Also have the oil feed/return stuff coming soon.

sup bro, i run the hx52 on a cast hks manifold. youre right, a drill is the answer to your flange issue, the holes are a little off. ive been using this setup for a couple of years. my latest setup is haltech e8, 550 1600, ls1 coils, walbro and aftermarket reg. with stock rails. let me know if you need any thing.
