If you are replacing the 7 bolt with another 7 bolt you really don't have any issues to worry about, it is a straight forward motor swap.

its really not that hard at all. all the connections are one way and only fit into one connection so you cant mess those up even though they look complicated. that hardest part is prob removing the suspension parts/cv shafts. gl

Are you talking about a 1g 7 bolt to 2g?

no a 2g 7bolt to a 2g 7bolt, going to be putting on intake, exhaust, bov, and a huge fmic. thats it for now untill i upgrade to a 16g turbo, bigger injectors, fuel pump, and dsmlink

A FMIC is not really necessary until you've gotten a bigger turbo, the t-25 is not gonna flow enough air to warrant a fmic. Goin with a "huge fmic" is even worse because it can slow down the velocity of the air as it moves from the compressor through the charge piping (smaller space) and hits this huge FMIC core.
