Question turbo swap question

I have a S5 turbo engin in my gsl-se with new oil pan and front cover. If any one out there can expain or have pictures of how they connected the turbo to the gsl-se front cover would be great? Also I'm putting in the coils from a 2nd gen and would like help on wiring them to a mictrotech LT8 ECU? Also need help with the coil placement and mounting in my gsl-se? These are the parts to complete my swap and need some help...

You can see in the pic below where I mounted the trailing coil. The leading is down where the fusible links used to be. You just have to get creative with some brackets. I love using angle aluminium for this sort of thing.

What help do you need exactly with the wiring?

So I just pulled the engine setup form a 2nd gen car and was already wired with the microtech, but just wanted to know if there is any special wiring that will have to be done now that these coild will go with the setup to the gsl-se?
