Default is there a way ti keep the AC

and still use truck manifolds ? I want to build my own piping and be cheap but I want to keep the ac, are there any alternatives or modifications I can do? Also where is a good source for the actual turbo, I'd like to use a salvaged one if it will work. Anyone know? TIA.

Using the truck manifolds....NO.
Alternatives, sure...buy a ready made kit...if there is such a thing now a days.
Good source of used turbo's...f/s sections on here and other car forums.

Thanks for the help. By salvaged I meant can I take one off a power stroke or Cummins diesel. I'm thinking if I buy a performance branded turbo even used it will cost me more than the same turbo labled industrial and used.

I think the answer on that will be that Diesel turbos are too small for what you are trying to do.
