It's pretty hard to crack the intake manifold but I understand your concern.

I guess you've answered your own questions here though on which route you want to go

But let me know if we can be any further assistance.

You can try running the 4MM lines at first and see how it responds. If you have issues then you know at least what the issue likely is.
