By a diesel manifold, do you mean a 524td manifold? If so, it will work on an M20 but not an M30 which I take (from the text in your post and signature) you have.

Turbo + really low budget do not go very well together. By the time you get it up and running properly and reliably, you'll likely have spent more than you intended, have a system consisting of cobbled together used parts that could fail whenever, and could've gotten a brand new TCD kit for just a bit more.

Some people have had more luck that others going the route you're intending, but you better thoroughly understand everything you're doing before you start.

"Cheap FI" is an oxymoron.

That's the key bit of information, right there.
