Maybe look into rewiring the fuel pump. Here are a few "Fuel pump rewire" threads showing diagrams, instructions, and information as to why this is a precautionary action.

arghx: Fuel pump rewire thread

A few fuel Pump rewire diagrams

"Why everyone should rewire their fuel pump."

^ I read this last link. The diagram on the #10 post by: Dudemaaanownsanrx7
(It's about half-way down the first page.)

be aware of your oil level. grease your sunroof track . check out your coolant hoses and everything else that gets old. make sure all vaccum lines are legit. check on condition of omp system. and also be aware of cops cuz they like to pull over sevens

You might spend so much on maintenance, repairs, and mods that you may not get your second TurboII for some time.

+1 to previous comments!
Turbos produce a lot more heat so everything is susceptible to more damage in do part... I've already fried a few cheap vacuum lines in months time because they weren't thick enough to handle it...
You also get to watch your bank account drain faster!!
