Default Best intake manifold for a turbo LS

Ive been reading a lit of articles and seeing different people use different style intake manifold, from what I've learned, single plane style intakes develop better flow at higher rpms over a fast/ls6 style intake. I really like the the holley high rise intake but it would require me to cut my car and change my factory ss hood. In you guys opinion, Whats really the best intake for a fuel injected forced induction/turbo ls engine ?

Victor Jr with elbow has proven itself over and over again. It will require a little modification but well worth it.

It's also a very sexy setup.

For the money the High Ram; Mini Ram looks like a poopy flowing setup. Marcella will be $2000+ for a setup, not to mention the wait. If you want Holley has a just a flange that you can do a custom top on, cheap sheetmetal really. Also, if its not all out the LS6 is HARD to beat.
