Most of the major components are here, but I can't really do much until I get the manifold. I'm going to drain the oil and get started on the oil pan this weekend. Other than mounting the mid-pipe I'm stuck for right now. I can't really run any of the oil/coolant lines or route the IC pipes until I get the turbo mounted. Once the manifold gets here things will move much quicker.
cant wait to see how this turns out...

Alright...good update.
The manifold arrived. The turbo is now bolted in the car. I've made the oil feed line and installed it along with the Speedcircuit oil tee. Now I need to finish the coolant lines and oil return line. I think I've figured out a way to use the metal part of the stock oil return line along with some hose and convert it to fit the -10 AN fitting I'll be using in the oil pan. That helps me keep the return line off the S-pipe.
I have pictures, but my home internet is not working right now. Hopefully I can post them tomorrow.

Looks like the oil return line plan is going to work out. I'll get some pictures tomorrow. I got the oil pan drilled out yesterday and I'll be putting it back on today. I used a Russell fuel cell fitting instead of welding a bung to the pan. Once I get the pan bolted back into place I can install the J/Mid-pipe and finish the coolant lines. Then all that is left will be the IC pipes. I wanted to do them first, but the other stuff has just gone so quick it was easy to knock it all out in a few days.
Yea...I'm stuck again waiting for what should be the last of my parts shipments. I have the FMIC pipes thought out and I just need to get a shop to bend them for me. I'm waiting on a few more couplers from ATP and a BOV to be shipped. My goal is to have a drivable car by next weekend if all the parts arrive.
You are going to love it! It puts a grin on my face every time. In fact, a little too much--I'm like "Whoa buddy need to slow down there." It was nice when I didn't have to do that because physics took care of being slow for me 
It'll be cool to see how it runs with your mods and the MSP ECU. I need to get my ass tuning. I've got some real flat spots in my powerband and still run rich, although not like it was. I pulled one plug and it was pretty dang sooty from gas.
