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.

Yes, a properly welded fitting will work fine, key word being properly. IMO, I would rather eliminate the risk by using a factory pan. Either way, goodluck and can't wait to see some progress on this project.

That was pretty much what I was getting at. But can't beat free I guess. It's not like I'm against welding a fitting to the pan, that's how I have with my return line.
