Turbo Upgrade questions...

[tpunx99GSX]

Ok I just want to clerify this with everyone to get the best method of going about this upgrade.
Current mods on car:
RRE 6Bolt block
2g Pistons
Stage 2 2g head
680cc injectors
16g turbo
Fidenza Flywheel
ACT2100 Clutch
Forge MBC
DSMLink
3/S Fuel Pump
3" Turboback exhaust
Intake filter and tube


OK here is what i need to clearify. Soon I am putting on my PTE 50 trim, FMIC, Ported Exhaust Mani, and Tial Wastegate. When i first did this upgrade on the Red GSX it took many trips to Home Depot and it just seemed like a total bitch to install this turbo. Well its now time to put this bitch on the GST.
First Questions: What is the best way to plug the coolent lines going to the turbo? The one coming from the block was a total bitch to find something that would be flush enough for the turbo to fit properly. Is there any trick to this? Does anyone know the exact threading that will work for a plug?
Second questions: The water pipe that goes along the block will likely need to be dented to allow room for the bigger compressor houseing, is there any way around this? Is there any negative effects associated with denting this pipe?
Third Questions: Is there any other tricks that anyone can think of to make this process less of a bitch then the last time i did this?
I am totally dreading this install, every turbo install i have ever done (~7 turbos) has been much easier then this one. But yet i am really excited to get this baby on. I am just not going to rush into this one like i did when it got installed on the GSX.
Thanks in advance for all the help,
Tom
