I've been trying to layout the plans for my cheap turbo setup that I'm piecing together. I had a set of heads made up by iceman with plans of doing an intercooled, heads, s1x setup... but now that I'm planning on going to turbo, I was planning on doing a stock manifold setup in an effort to save money. My question is is it possible to run ported heads on stock manifolds? If not, is it possible to port the manifolds enough to make it work? Or could the rear manifold at least be ported enough and I could just run a front plog? Any input would be appreciated. The reason I'm trying to stay away from a front and rear plog setup is because of cost of them and also the extra cost of getting a crossover with a wastegate perch.
P.S. Heads are Josh's "stage 3" setup. They're pretty well ported.
