st205 side feed intake manifold, what gen 3sge can i take a manifold from Options

I searched and couldn't find what i was looking for. I also searched mr20c.com but most topics were about the 2nd gen 3s. i would like to go to a side feed intake manifold when i start to do my swap. I plan on going front mount and would like to simplify the intercooler piping and not having to run it close to the exhaust mani. so my question is what year 3sge. can i take a manifold from. also i if can some how find a beams mani would it be worth the money. if you think this is a stupid idea let me know im just trying to get my research done.

thanks for all the input guys. well that was also one of the things i was also wondering about. i read that some places say the intake mani is the problem with cylinder 3 going some say its the fuel rail. i have no personal experience so who do i trust. do i go stand alone and just give #3 more fuel or try the mani and see what happens. i may sound like a retard and i dont post much but i figured i better try to read and learn before i ask dumb questions. if im going to go through with the swap i figured do it right the first time.i have a beater car so the celica can be down for as long as i need to gather money and parts.replies are appreciated.

The uneven flow to the cylinders is because of both the intake manifold and the gen2 fuel rail (on an upgraded pump). However, you don't need to worry about it unless you are planning modifications beyond stock, intake, exhaust, and boost controller. If you go standalone, the safety issue with one or more cylinders going lean can be adjusted without a different intake manifold.

The important questions are "what are your goals?" and "what is your budget?"
