Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
Here it is finally. I got it running a bit ago, but blew the engine due to a faulty wastegate. After replacing that and rebuilding the engine, I got this final project, enjoy.
1990 Celica STX, 1.6 liter 4afe.
T25 Turbo
JGS Tools log manifold
JRC 5" intercooler
2.25 charbe piping
DSM 450's
SAFC
MSD BTM
Stealthmodeperformance Oil lines (feed/firewall kit)
Boost, Oil Pressure and EGT gauges
Here are the pics -
The Car
The HMT Love
There it is. Running about 8 pounds on it right now, runs nice and strong. Going through stock exhaust, but has a seperate dumptube for the wastegate. I'm going to be building a 2.5" exhaust next weekend, and hopefully getting it tuned very shortly.
I want to say thank you to all you guys on this site that helped me out with everything, and to Steve for all those free stickers and personal advice
Peace,
Colin

Gotta love your ugly fluxcore welds, mine are even uglier! 
Who cares as long as that ---- holds, it's gangsta.
Love how the HMT sticker perfectly fits your window and your intercooler looks totally sleeper sexy.
Good ----!

My exhaust isn't welded to the downpipe yet, I just left the downpipe sitting over the stock exhaust, so it still sounds really badass. I get full boost by about 2600-3200 rpms (I don't know exactly because my tach doesn't work, so I just glance down at my SAFC to see what RPM I'm at. It's hard to keep my eyes on the road and watch that SAFC at the same times.
I was going to run megasquirt, but then I decided to wait for MSII, and here I am. Still an option for the future though
Thanks for the comments, guys. Jeff or any Mod, if you want me to make an official writeup, I would be more than happy to, just let me know.

It's a 1g DSM BOV
My brother just got a new Digital Video Recorder, so maybe I'll ask him if we can borrow it for the next HMT meet. I need to find somebody local that has some 4 lug stealies with ---- tires so I can burn the crap out of them
