Personally i think your better off with a BOA but if your ECU can control the secondaries go down the BOB route. I think the BOB engines are i little bit trickery to fit though, don't the oil pipes/oil filter get in the way?

Get to 350bhp first, then go for a custom manifold. BOA and BOBs have different inlets on them, which one are you talking about?
