from what i have seen, most get them made either themselves or by a fab shop.

Usually you buy the flanges and then fabricate the plenum on your own. Not a hard thing to do, and it's an essential thing to have because the original inlet manifold tends to blow up after 1bar of boost and has a lot of unnecessary piping ..

There are alot of M50´s running more then a bar of boost without problems to the original manifold.
the key is a good blow off valve.
