Single Turbo a 96 Rx7

[SIZE=6][SIZE=2]I know i have added a threat already with regards to going single on a 3rd Gen Rx7. The only problem i am facing with the threads etc is that i drive a Jap imported Series 7 Rx7.. 96 model and the vaccum hoses run off a different set up to a 93 model.
For example:

The SPAGHETTI crap under the top manifold is a black plastic box where sensors and vacc hoses plug into.. and different to the 93 that has metal piping for Vacc hoses.

Has anyone on this site single turbo'd a Series 7 FD? And if so do you have any tips.
I want to be able to do the set up etc by myself and leave the fitting of the microtech to the pros.. i was quoted 3k to fit the turbo, sort out the vacc hoses and i think its a damn rip off.

ANy help would be appreciated

Poor FD owner from NZ
