If you decide to buy it and drill the injector bungs yourself, you'll run the risk of having a fire since the holes need to be drilled spot on. Or else it won't seal and you'll have gas spraying everywhere. Take Aim's advice and pass.

i would have the injector bungs drilled at my machine shop so that wouldnt be a problem. I still think i might try it and see if it works. If it does it could save a bunch of people some money on here instead of buying the airgap

You can't just drill holes for the injectors in that manifold. There isn't enough material for the o-rings to seal properly. The extra material on there is way to small for injectors. You could machine out slots for these http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ACC-74740/ and get them tig welded in or simply epoxy them in (if it would hold). Then make the TB adapter and supports for the fuel rails. If you can't do this yourself its probably not worth it. I wouldn't bother with that manifold either. It is most likely a cheap knockoff and is poorly designed. If you are going to spend the time you should start with something different.
