I haven't heard back form him, but I got it figured out. I'll post some pics in a few days when the couplers come in and I cut my hole. I did get the blowoff flange welded today so now thats out of the way, and I have a completed interior again. I'll post some pics of that in the next few.
No real complications as of yet, just stubborn siezed bolts and the likes, and one screwed up ABS sensor.

ahh as is suspected. which piece of pipe did you weld the flange to ?.
the one with the red question mark by chance. i wanna get mine done ahead of time too. but i dont have my piping on me right now so i would have to send a picture to the powdercoat guys so they can attach it while there working on that.

I've always heard that you want the blowoff as close as possible to your Throttle Body. So I had mine welded to the "L" that comes off of the TB. It's probably about 3/4th's of the way down the pipe and turns the "L" into an "F". I know that's retarded sounding, but I don't have any pictures right now...

Some pics of the completed interior minus a headunit as I'm not sure what I'm gonna do about that yet, I was going to get a double din touchscreen lcd unit, but wiring is going to be a pain since I have pre 92 system ten, so I may just throw the stocker back in for a bit until I can save up to have a pro innstall done. Also some pics of the intercooler piping with the blowoff installed. I don't have anything clammped yet and I don't have the hole drilled to connect the piping through the battery area yet, but it seems to work fine. (Donnie)

I love that shift knob, I saw it in an old TRD catalog a buddy of mine, who's father works for TRD, had and he told me that he happened to have one unopened that he bought for his AW11 and it didn't fit the shaft size. He sold it to me for $50.00. It screws right on like stock.
I would email the sellers and make sure that it would fit a 90-93 Celica. I don't know if there were different models of it for different shifter shaft sizes.
There is also a new design out from TRD but they only list 2000+ models as being compatible.

It's close. I have to drain the old fuel out of the tank. I have to install the alternator and then I have to hook up the rest of the connections and put the axel nuts back on......thats it! So, this week is really busy for me but hopefully it will be very soon. I'm nervous as hell to turn her on for the first time- so many things that could go wrong!
