no the de manifold wont work for the e. the kit u are looking on ebay is probably the ssautochrom kit some hate it some say its not bad. if you are looking for a turbo setup for your kae then u might want to check ka-t.org they have a whole section dedicated to the SOHC ka24e-t. also find jordan gladman over there he makes custom mani's for the SOHC thats where i got mine from.

heres a pic of mine made my jordan gladman.

I also have a gladman manifold. It did require some time under a die grinder, but overall very good in terms of value.

$250 Shipped, +$50 for wastegate flange.

This manifold is a good design but interferes with the AC compressor and has poor craftsmanship.

The one I received had miss aligned tubes to ports. The tubes were not butted to the flange and to one another correctly which left gaps inside. Poor welds full of gas pockets. There were also holes burnt through the tubing and filled with weld. I spent probably 8 hours fixing this manifold by grinding, welding, and machining the mating surfaces flat again.
