Reno nevada ?
First off, thanks to everyone in this forum whos posted and answered all types of questions concerning the FD. I've learned alot about my car just using the search.
I'm currently in the middle of a single turbo project and was wondering if there is anyone who lives near Reno or Sparks who has done this before. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's pretty straight forward, you remove all the stock crap and put a few things in their place. Depending on what kind of turbo or kit you went with you may have to do things differently.
You can find all the answers on the forum by using the search function and anything you can't find people would be glad to help you figure it out. You might want to check out the action in the single turbo section or the regional section.

I just saw your finished work. That looks Great!. I've searched everything reguarding single turbo's. The only questions I have are what to do with the vacuum lines. Which ones stay and which ones go etc... I thought it would be easier if I saw someone elses set-up. I bought a kit online for cheap (not the cheap ebay guys turbo) but the turbo housing is the wrong type. It won't mount to the manifold because it's hitting the strut tower. After I get that problem fixed I'll move onto the IC and Pipine project.

Thanks Glass Man, but it's actually the AR side or Dark side of the turbo thats hitting on tower. It's a small turbo t04b but the actuall shape of this housing is whats causing this. If it were sitting on manny it would lean towards the tower verses the correct setup being it would lean towards the motor allowing it to fit in the space between.
I tried to attach a pic but the file is too big.

Thats a pretty easy fix. You just need to get a different turbine housing for it if thats really the problem. Check on ebay, they sell on there all day long. Or you can take a grinder to the spot that its hitting. That should solve the problem.
