Operation: Boosted Tangerine, BACK UP AND RUNNING!!! Options

Ok guys. As many of you know i am going to be turboing my celica towards the end of this month/beginning of march. I have a 1994 celica GT coupe with 98k on it. The compression and leak tests went perfect. i only need to get a new valve cover gasket. I plan on turboing with a t3/t4 (ebay turbo). i know im probly gonna take some sh!t for the turbo but honestly i dont care. its my car and i will do with it what i choose. the numbers will show haha. But ive been talkin to Jim for the past 2 years about my build. The original plan was to drive over to jersey and jim and i would install it. but recently i found a garage and dyno that are very close to me. so i will be using that garage to install my turbo set up with my good friend Cam (Boosted185). I cant thank Jim and Cam enough for helping me out with this. I started off as this kid with no knowledge of cars what so ever and now i have alot more knowledge to where i can start my build. Jim really helped me learn alot and i cant thank him enough. Ive asked so many questions (some more then once ) and Jim put up with it all and helped me out so much. again i cant thank him enough. Jim and Shannons builds were a big inspiration to me. but anyway, thats enough of my thoughts haha. I have been ordering parts. I have the I/C, t3/t4 turbo, SAFCII, boost guage, walbro fuel pump, rx7 injectors,HKS BOV, guage pod, and several parts on the way. I am welding a 10an fitting to the 5sfe oil pan instead of the 3s pan. I will be making the custom DP. I will be running an ACT performance clutch and a full 3" exhaust with no res. I will be replacing the water pump and the timing belt as well. My head gasket is composite so i will be upgrading that to metal. I plan on running around 14psi. I will be posting pics of the parts i have later on in the day. I honestly cant wait for this. Its something ive been wanting to do for so long. Its finally becoming a reality.

Just to end the oil pan dilemma. The oil pan is my old 5S pan, and the fittting is being welded on my the welding instructor at my college. He has been welding for over 35 years and his "weekend job" is welding tube race chassis together. I feel as though a man who puts other peoples lives in the balance of his welds will have NO problem with an oil return fitting on an oil pan. Enough said.

Also...Yes, this is a budget build. However, this is NOT the first turbo setup I have ever installed. Its easier for me to list the cars WITHOUT turbos that I've worked on, rather than list the turbo cars. Brent's setup will be VERY similar, if not almost identicle to Shannons setup. Jim has helped oversee this build along with myself, so Brent is in very good hands.
