i tried a couple diesel shops in town but they said without specs they would be blind...some huge fricken guy even told me not to worry and just throw it in there...

Your best best it to search online and find someone reputable.

Fuel Injection Services (PA)
MJM (FL)

are both known and reputable

There was a place in the Heights that did a few turbo's for my buddies a few years ago. I can't recall the name but I'll try and see if they do. The one is still running and its been 5 years since the rebuild. I'll let you know if I can find the number for you. If you want a T25 my buddy may have one from him S12 that he is swapping a KA into.
