Turbo the 2.8L(Future 3.4)

Hey guys heres the story
i'm working on the kit thing
i got a guy thats gonna send me a bunch of Stainless steel pipes and a bunch of other stuff
he would work the kit himself but the problem is he lives in another state and dosen't have a 2.8L bird to work with
i have a T25 Turbo off a DSM... its off a talon
and i have the wastegate...
i'm getting soon the intercooler off a thunderbird
now i need help
i've been reading and i've been reading
but i'm no mechanic... so somethings just don't make sense
in within a month and a half i'm getting the 3.4L in
i would've had it a month and a half a ago but lets forget that
i'm getting the 3.4.... its gonna be ported and polished
and obviously installed into the car
then i'm working on the fuel system, and cooling
right after that the turbo is popping in for a trial run
i'm gonna be shopping for stuff i need during the whole engine thing and cooling and fuel system.
What do i need and what should i get
i'm planning on running 8-10 psi but i don't wanna blow up
what blow off valve should i use
how do i put in the turbo...where should i put it
and i need a crash course on how to fit turbos into cars and stuff
help me out guys
i would like to get this done in a year if possible
i'm working my butt off to get the money and i'm gonna have it.
where should i mount the intercooler... what about the manifold?
and exhaust... well lots a questions... and i always ask lots and
how do i put the things together... things referig to turbo, wastegate and so on........... get very little answers... but at least one answer i woud appreciate much..

I think it is cool to try new stuff but it sounds very expensive. It would require a bunch of fabrication(Welding cutting and probably machine work to the engine to keep it alive)

Why not get a Gn turbo from a salvage yard?

Or throw the tried and true 350.

The 350 would be the easiest and cheapest.

Well its your wallet. Good luck with whatever choice you make.

There are a couple of guys on the V6 board working on 60* engine (one a 3.1L the other a 3.4) turbo projects. You may get a better response there.
