Default keep my turbo headers or build a manifold kit???

hey guys my car is all torn apart now for the new motor, it has a old hi-flo turbo kit on it but i was thinking about tossing the tube header hi-flo kit and build a simple manifold kit??? What do you guys think?


The reason i wanna do this is cus my kit now is cramped into my car and as we all know, turbo cars break all the time lol so i wanted it to be simple like a mani kit that i can easly fix

my car takes about 2 hrs to change out the spark plugs and another to run the wires just to burn them and i dont have room for a overflow so a mani kit just seems duh

heres how cramped it is


I dont know if i should do it...what do you guys think?
