Maatouks seem to have done fine in regards to the cheap manifold. Look into a 6boost one though. Do a search regarding ebay manifolds and 6boost ones, there is plenty written on both. You will probably want to get a forward facing inlet manifold / plenum anything such as a JPC one, RAJAB one or JD Custom one. Don't get one of those massive stupid things off ebay. Oil and water lines, dump pipe to suit. Make sure you're manifold has wastegate where you want it. And I wouldn't be doing a high mount with anything less than a 35/40, but you haven't stated what turbo you are using.
