Default Intake selection

I know this is more of a mixed opinion question but I'm new to the turbo game and currently in the process of getting parts ready for the turbo build. Car will be a 1993 mustang coupe forged motor, turbo will most likely be a billet s480 ETR-HO V3. Car has a 4 inch cowl hood to the windshield and I will shim the k member also if needed. Heads will be a cathedral port as well, I'm stuck on which intake to get seeing if maybe you guys can give me some useful info on which route to go. From what I've read and based on when the car will be on kill 20psi+ I need to run a aluminum intake. All info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Factory ls6 manifold will handle that just fine. No need for aluminum.

LS1 on 20psi here and going up. No issues. Intake has never been off the car since the factory.

Well that's good to know I've always heads the polymer intakes fail on high boost but hey you can't believe everything you read on the net huh. Im looking to take advantage of every possible thing I can do to gain extra power, so is there an intake that I could run that would be beneficial on a boosted app I see a lot of people running the holley high and mid ram as well as the edelbrock pro flow? Thanks for the fast response.

Stock ls6 for me 14 psi and more for 2 years now. I also like the truck intakes i've run them to 22psi on my Fairmont.

Wow kind of making me second think this theory on intake failure with high boost. If I can't get any other opinions then i'll probably just running the LS6 intake. Thanks again for the responses
