Question LS1 intake for boost?

im planning to use my LS1 intake into my 6.0L turbed setup, im wondering if it will work good with boost from turbo, it will be boosting something like 12 psi, what do you think, will intake work good with that boost? thanks

Good for what ? It will work just fine as far as its strength, It just doesn't flow as well as other intake manifolds.

Its good enuff, but may need a bolt down plug like the ebay ones.
Not the auto parts rubber ones. I use metal 1 3/8 freeze plugs. But it may blow out.
It works fine for n/a or egr delete

If you can find a cheap ls6 intake that would be the best bang for the buck and you wouldn't have to deal with plugging the EGR hole (as nemeSS mentioned) on the ls1 intake. The ls6 also flows better than the ls1.
