manifold for turbo and other questions

I have a 90 bronco that I am going to put a turbo on. I have been told not to use the truck type manifold because it leans out a couple of cylinders. I have not been able to find a mustang type maniflod for a 5.8l engine though. Can I use a manifold off of a 5.0l mustang? Also, I was going to run my stock ecm and fuel system with the addition of an FMU to regulate fuel pressure under boost. is this a good way to do it?

I am looking to run between six to eight pounds of boost and my engine will peak at 4000 rpm. Am i better off running twin smaller turbos or one bigger turbo. I would like most of my power in the 2000-3000 rpm range.

THank

Use the Gen I Lightning intake (GT-40 Type), and a single T-67 PS. It is good for 20+ PSI (Pegged my guage, so who knows), and up to 700 HP.

There is already a complete system available for this setup.
