damn, it'd be to my advantage to know shit about turbos right now at any rate, i saw a '00 d16y8 complete swap for 700 obo on the parts trader......dude lives in ohio tho :/ so i'd have to go get it or something....hell i'd be happy with that
as for using my own tranny, i think i'd be better off going with the Si tranny...better gear ratio and shit right? not to mention i dont like the idea of getting an engine with lower miles than the transmission...might as well do it all at the same time.
now, lets say i was to go to a junkyard, and stumble accross a car that comes turboed stock....i could take the turbo out, and fit it to my d16? (i believe thats what you were refering to when you said "Starion/Conquest Tsi FMIC" thats the turbo in a talon tsi?)

i got a better idea for a swap now...

FMIC-Front Mount InterCooler
you'll need that and the piping for the IC
the greddy kit comes with the rest as long as you keep the boost at 5.5psi
you don't even need the IC, but it is beneficial.

here is the Starion IC...fairly large
