While l I have everybody's attention my oil pan gasket came in the mail today and I thought it was supposed to be two Half Moon gaskets that go on the front and back and some rtv but this one is one piece that goes all the way around the sealing surface, should I toss this and just get the half Moons? Dont want anymore seepage
Not necessary, but I love this tool. No more hand cramps from applying RTV: https://www.amazon.com/Valco-Cincinn...dp/B007IQ539C/

Check out my build thread. I asked the same questions. Got the same replies. In short, 18psi is right in that to do a turbo build correctly on a 1.6 you will need to spend more. the 1.8 diff is non-negotiable, the 1.6 diffs are known to fail at STOCK POWER. I'm in the market for one but as long as you are boosted with the stock diff, be prepared to call a tow truck at any given moment.

All I needed to read was "7 months the then I'm off to college for 3 years" to know that turbo is a bad choice right now.
wait until after college. You are inviting a nightmare and a huge waste of money otherwise. IMO
