Since you are doing something similar that I did (3800 v6 turbo), I will post a link to what i ran.

I tapped the crossover pipe and blocked the rear manifold downpipe. There are good and bad designs, but you get the picture.
This kit appears to use the factory manifolds, should give you an idea.

3-2-1 manifolds. The longer the runners and merge before the FIRST collector the BETTER.
v6 manifolds are easy to make. three runners and ZERO space issues even for transaxles. It's the merge pipes and down pipe that can get tricky to find room for. i recommend cutting a hole in the wheel well area and taking the downpipe out there, since the turbo's typically replace your battery'ish area. but that's only if it wont all fit up front and you don't feel like having a crossove rpipe running the entire engine bay, in the engine bay to go front to back
