I've searched, all 4 pages it gave me and couldn't find a thorough DIY installation guide. I was wondering if somoene had links to other websites (i google'd and couldn't find any detailed ones) that show step by step S14 or S15 Turbo Install. I know the parts involved I just need some easy pace guide that can help me. Thanks. Feel free to flame

u dont need a walk thru or how to. the turbo will bolt up, your coolant lines/oil lines will not perfectly line up. your oil return will not bolt up. if you notch the oil return to bolt up, you will need to bend it to face the right way and not hit your steering column. SO...
remove old turbo
put s15 turbo on the manifold
bolt up all the lines
use s15 oil return or notch t25+bend it
bend oil/coolant lines to line up with the block
call it a day.

Silvia_S13's got it, the only thing I would add is that you should get a S14/S15 hotpipe for your intercooler, as your T25 hotpipe has a different (90* vs 45*) bend at the end.
Most people take this opportunity to get SS lines... about $100 and make installation much easier, as well as being more reliable (resistant to fracture) and general pimp status.

if u wanna use ur original hot pipe, get the adapter that rotates the compressor out pipe so it lines up with ur shit. a few shops make it. they even make an adapter for the intake elbow
What about a oil feed restrictor?
