The only thing i would like to add to help you guys out is i think (im pretty sure) that the 98 and 99 celicas have forged pistons unlike the older models, so if you have a newer car then you really do not need any lower compression forged pistons. You should look into getting the metal head gasket for the 5sfe camry to lower your compression to about 8:1 ....and it will last way longer too! If i were you i would run the water lines to the turbo, they are really easy to tap into and take like 15 minutes to do. You can tap into the rubber lines under the intake manifold with 2 tee's and run your lines to the turbo.( If you follow the metal water lines that run across the front of the engin block from the water pump you will see where i am talking about) And deffinetly do not let any friends talk you into rushing your project. Take your time and do it right!!!! I hope you get it up am running soon my man.....good luck!
If i can help with anything else just ask!
