2 Stage 3SGTE Swap thread, Stage 1.. almost done =) Options

EDIT: 8/22/09
Ok guys before commenting just know my goal is 330 hp until all 2 stages is complete.. so keep that in mind when reading my setup:

95 toyota celica GT
ST205 3sgte swap
GT tranny and axles
Stage 3 clutch kit and flywheel(deciding between 2 I like)
EDIT: ST205 fuel pump
3 inch exhaust(already installed)
ST205 downpipe

Now in order to move on to stage 3 I need to figure out which engine I want.. parts for the 185(non RC) I have found to be relatively easy in case something breaks.. alot of sites have parts for the engine.. but it turns out the 185 wiring is harder than the 205.. im leaning towards the 205.. although i think finding parts for the engine is harder.. the swap should be a bit easier and at stock I would be right at my goal which is 250 hp running stock... i know for a fact there wont be an urge to raise booast levels since stage 2(AWD Conversion) of my swap would not be completed.. and this is my only car which i use for work and not for racing intentions.. 4 now.. lol

so basically I got 2 questions that have been killing me for a while now..
axles.. is it possible to mix and match GT tranny with 3sge axles.. if so that would be a delight but I highly doubt you can.. but im asking for clarification.. and 2.. what engine do you guys think I should go with.. 185 or 205?

thanks alot man.. right now we still gotta order the new exhaust.. so sometime next week the pics of it will be up hopefully.. i was wondering though if u can go over 1 more time the custom wiring that needs to be done again? i want to go in monday ready to do.. and not look up haha.. i know i gotta make relays for the IC.. and you said something about the starter also.. im also wondering about the cluster and how to get the turbo sensor to work.. since thats all i have right now. im really hoping to at least be complete with the wiring and IC setup by monday
