Where are the Aluminum intake plenums/manifolds?

So......................Kinetix? Motordyne? NISMO?

I have heard some things around the rumor-mill, but I am not sure that I want to trust it. Mike@UPREV has been discussing possibilities with Kinetix for my specific inquiry, but they are still "testing". The big question is who has one and how do we get it?

What is it going to take? Once I build my motor, I am going to push 0.7-0.8 BAR on low boost setting and hopefully a minimum of 1.5 BAR on high boost setting. When I had an S13 Fastback w/ CA18DET, I was able to run 1 BAR easy. But we are talking iron block, aluminum head. Turbo manifold.....iron stock. Intake manifold......aluminum stock. Where am I going with this? Would you have purchased a plastic aftermarket part to put in/on your motor 10-15 years ago?

How many heat cycles can the stock intake plenum/manifold take before it cracks and fails. How much boost can it withstand AND for how long within said heat cycles? I don't want to find out. And for reference, I have the M370 because I couldn't get 1 of the 3-5 Kinetix units that are out there.
