WRX TD04 Swap Q'S

Hey all!

I've successfully installed my SAAB I/C a few weeks back, and now I'm planning to install my WRX Turbo on the car. I am on vacation from work, but I only have a one day opening to get this installation done before my Girlfriend gets on my case!!!! LOL!

I'm not too worried about the install itself, what I am worried about is having all the necessary parts to get this swap done.

It seems like I will have to reroute PCV piping, and the intercooler plumbing...

Will I have anyother surprises that would require a trip to the hardware store??

I am planning on getting some 3-4 feet of 1/2" rubber hose, I have quite a few vaccum lines on hand, and lots of rubber hose for my I/C Plumbing...

Will I be needing anything else? Gaskets, NPT Fittings, Oil/Water lines?

I plan on doing a kinda step through with pictures so that I can post them up for everyone, I just want to be ahead of the game by having most of the parts on hand!

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Looking forward to getting this done!

Have you looked one thread down - http://www.bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?t=22031, I'd say it should answer most of your questions and it definately relevant.
