If something doesn't fit correct, or go together in what feels like the correct way -STOP. Ask. Be ready to take pictures so that others can help you. A picture at times can say 1,000 words!
Good luck

put it in with the turbo kit off, put it in with the harness on the motor. pull off the heater hoses and stuff from the fire wall. oh yeah, raise the car up and pull the motor (IE you dont have to fool with the bitch pin until the motor is out of the car , and diconnect the harness at the ecu and leave it on the mototr when you pull it out
