So pulling the manifold blows. Worst thing I've ever done on a car, hands down. It was so bad that I don't want to deal with it ever again unless the motor comes out, so I bought a bunch more parts to just get it all done with while the car is down.
I have 850cc injectors (About 80lb for domestic guys) a 255lph pump, TGV spacers, silicone turbo inlet and afta-maf tube and some other junk on top of the stuff I already have on the way. In my typical fashion, blew my budget thrice over.
Waiting on parts and it goes back together, Wicked Big Meet is fast approaching.
For reference, here's what the engine bay looks like when it's not missing the top end:
