I missed my chance years ago to buy a DeZod kit for my 2014, and I've been kicking myself ever since. It seems like it's damn near impossible to find a turbo manifold for the 2AR-FE. Every site I've looked at has kits for the 2AZ-FE from the first generation, but absolutely nothing for the tc2. I've asked around, and the bolt pattern between the 2AZ-FE and 2AR-FE is different. I'd rather not get something custom built for big $$$ at a shop. It's just the manifold I'm having problems with acquiring.

Should I just buy a manifold for a 2AZ-FE and cut off the head mount to fit on a 2AR??

You will most likely need to get a custom manifold made. How much power do you want to make?

There is a pretty basic (and relatively cheap if you're patient) route to 230whp NA on 93 by using 2 intake camshafts from a 2AR-FXE hybrid (one 20 degrees advanced from stock in the intake position to offset the atkinson cycle, and the other intake cam used on the exhaust side), the FXE's high compression pistons (12.5:1 vs stock 10.5:1), and stiffer valve springs. Frankenstein motorworks velocity stack intake on the stock intake manifold + stock catted header with flange necked up to 2.5in ID + 2.5in custom exhaust with no secondary cat. Downside is that you must use a standalone ECU like a Haltech but since you were wanting to turbo I would assume that isn't an issue for you.
