So an update:
-The driftmotion turbo pretty much blew up prematurely. instead of rebuilding the chinese turbo i bought a Borgwarner s362 81.ar.. and i gota say i LOVE this turbo. It sounds like a Ford 6.0, because it just screams! anyway, hit a snag with this because the oil drain line for some reason got cut somewhere and has been leaking drips of oil on the manifold for a few days. i ordered a new line but the fitting was goobered up so i ordered ANOTHER one that was pre-tightened. Had to take the alternator off but i finally got that sucker on there as it started to storm. Good news is ill have it buttoned up tonight.
-Cooling issue was fixed by installing a new fan since one of my electric fans died.
-no more warning lights, i believe it was a short in the wiring that i fixed by the ecu.
next step:
-Ordered a locustom MDX mini antenna

-bought a pair of fog lights for the 97+ front end i have. however im going to shave them and turn them into air ducts
still need to buy:
-rear diffuser - custom made by Gladman Performance
^ my design
will be similar to this -> http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q...df0e452f_b.jpg
-new tires - balding and i have a bubble - ehh

Finally was able to fix the oil drain line. Found a new -10an fitting and gasket in my trunk 
waiting on a few parts to arrive like mentioned before.
