It is finally time.... for boost!, UPDATE: new turbo on and boosting! Options

[6strngs]

As some of you know, I've been gathering parts together for a 5sfte turbo project which I hope to finish soon. I should have a fairly large sump of money coming in in the next few days which I will use to buy the rest (or as much of the rest as I can) of the parts. Not only that but my parents will be leaving town for about 10 days on monday, leaving me with garage space to work in. The week of june 3rd-10th I will have a weeks paid vacation from work, so I will have plenty of time to work on it then. Anyway, here's what I've got so far:

2 bar map sensor:


460cc RX7 injectors:


3sgte oil pan:


3sgte oil and coolant lines, oil feed line from stealthmodeperformance.com, oil pressure sending unit from tunertoyz (thanks to Dew_Hoe_GT). Earl's -3an to 1/8" NPT fittings. The 3rd fitting on the T near the 3s oil line is plugged; I just needed an adaptor to connect two male threads and stealthmode included the tee.


oil line modified with the -3an threads from an earl's fitting. Welding done by my welding instructor. TIG welding ftw!


3sgte manifold, with EGT bung that will get plugged (not enough room for EGT gauge on my A-pillar! lol)


intercooler


2.25" intercooler piping, mr2 BPV on a section of stock mr2 IC piping, about 4 silicone couplers, 1 2.25"-2.50" transition coupler, and 6 or so worm-gear clamps


A'pexi AFC Neo:


Lotek A-pillar pod, and AEM UEGO wideband o2 (hooked up to power, but not to the engine yet), will be filling the other two slots with a boost and oil pressure gauge


And there you have it. For the IC piping, I was told it was 2.5" piping and included couplers and T-bolts... unfortunately, it turned out to be 2.25" piping, only included 4 2.25" couplers, only one 2.25" to 2.50" transition, and a couple worm gear clamps... it also included 3 2.00" couplers and 6 T-bolts which only fit the 2.00" couplers which do me no good... those 3 couplers + t-bolts are up on ebay now to help pay for the other couplers and clamps I need. If anybody has any used 2.25" couplers, 2.25" t-bolt clamps, 2.25-2.50" transistion couplers, or a 45* elbow coupler, let me know!

also still needed:
Turbo and downpipe (Negative is supposed to get these to me, but he hasn't replied to any PMs from me for 11 days and counting )
oil filter recolation kit
gauges (oil pressure and boost)
walbro fuel pump
VTV for the mr2 BPV
magnaflow muffler (to be mated to a 3" custom exhaust I plan to get)
couplers, T-bolts, elbow, and transitions for ic piping

if anybody has anything on that list they could sell to me, that would be awesome! So yeah, go ahead and comment away!

EDIT: can anybody tell me what size the outlet on the CT-26 twin entry turbo is so I can get the correct sized 45* elbow. I assume it's 2.25" since the section of mr2 IC piping is 2.25"

I placed an order for a 2.75" filter on ebay today. here's everything left that I could possibly think I still need:

coolant line plate
wastegate actuator
3 different studs
plug for EGT bung
new oil
a nut for the compressor wheel
something to mount the Intercooler with
muffler
catalytic converter
and a custom exhaust

guess it won't be getting done this weekend since I don't have all the mandatory parts yet apparently not only that, but 99.9% of the wastegate actuators I see are sold included with the turbo, I'm hoping I find somebody willing to seperate them. and I have no idea where I'm gonna find that plate, that's another one of those things you would expect to be sold with a turbo! not only that, but I think I might lose my job tomorrow. not the biggest deal cause I was gonna quit as soon as I turned 18 which is like 10 weeks away; and I seriously only make like $0.89 per hour more than minimum wage; but this could delay things if I don't have an income. all cause I was supposed to join a union in my first 30 days of employment and I've gone about 15 months and finally got caught
