Update: **** my life.
Lol jk jk. I've been working all day every day for the last three days. I've got a LOT of s*** done but there's still a good amount to go. I can honestly say that I wish I would have gone a different route with the intercooler but it's not that bad I guess. So far I haven't run into any more major road blocks. I'm just tired and my back hurts. I hope to get the car running in a couple of days. Around half of my first day was spent swapping the valve body so all in all I've spent around 30 hours on the install of the turbo so far.
Twis, when are you planning on doing your install? Whenever it is, make sure you set aside a solid week just to be on the safe side of things. I was able to find the fitting I was looking for after 5 hours of driving around town.

I got lucky and landed a turbolife cold pipe from someone who went relocated MAF, but yeah, that and a CX racing kit, plus a few parts and you'll have your "modified customs" FMIC, by wagonbacker9 lol. altered customs, minus me choosing the parts suppliers, and extra cost. lol

Oh gotcha. It really isn't that bad. Plus you'll have the vids I took to guide you. Don't worry, it's not that bad. It's just that it was just a bit more of a pain than I thought it would be.

it took me 5 hours to run the piping to a core I'd already bolted up. took like 2 hours to do that because I had to fish the bolts into the crash bar...
