Default Ordered my turbo kit today

i ordered my drag 3 turbo kit today for my 98 civic b18c1 JDM, i should get it next week, i can hardly wait.

anyone have any pointers for puting it on. i think i will be using a moroso oil pan so the oil lines should pop right in, right?

any tips would help alot, first turbo install for me, thanks
