without there being a plenum I think it'd be more for high end performance, where as the 2.4 helps a lot in mid range and high end. IIRC you'd also need to retap the throttle body holes because they have a different bolt pattern. I think the LE5 would be better all around imo

Thanks. So basically youre saying that you couldnt just use the LE5 TB. I was unsure about that as well. I know crate sells the adapter for 35 bucks though.

Thats just the stock LNF manifold, and it will technically work....but will be a major PITA.
Reasons being:
1. The port shape on the LNF head is different, as seen in the port shape of the manifold, this is due to the LNF being DI apparently.
2. There is all kinda of ports in that manifold that will have to be plugged.
3. Manifold uses 8mm bolts instead of 6mm bolts like the L61 head, so you will have a hard time getting it centered on the head.
4. Manifold doesn't have the injector notches in the top of the manifold flange...might have interferance issues here.
5. The L61 LB won't bolt to it without an adaptor
6. The biggest issue, the TB mounts facing the ground on that manifold, which would be a serious pain in the ass to set-up.
Aside from that, it is designed as a forced induction manifold, so N/A performance will more than likely suffer from the super short runners and lack of plenum.
All said and done, don't bother and just get the LE5 manifold.
Ok, I wasnt sure about the ground facing thing... Looked like maybe but I wasnt sure.
I also was wondering about the Turbo design vs NA, so thanks for answering my questions, without me asking them. HA Looks like Ill just go LE5

I can make on if I had somewhere to get the flange... i work at a machine shop. I was just thinking this would be cheaper.
However, if I can get the LE5 as cheap as quibby got his. Ill be in business.

I have a flange for sale...
