Hey. Can the stock plastic intake hold any boost what so ever?

Yup, the only thing it's not good for is if you run Nitrous and have a backfire.

"danger to the manifold"

i think theres a vid of a 2.2 blowing a manifold on the track with nitrous on youtube...

other then that boosting on stock manifold should be fine
