Will a 3rd gen FMIC fit on a T2?
Well,
I have found a '91 Jspec motor w/ 0 miles and a Garret T04E turbo and a 1991 Turbo tranny w/ 30K miles...so I'll need to decide on is the clutch/flywheel, and the intercooler. The only ones I can find that are used and are in good condition are for FDs, will they fit???

Yea, the Jspec had 2000 miles on it when it blew, and the guy I'm buying it from rebuilt it. He did custom porting and used 3mm APEX seals.
A Sparco custom? See I'm not a turbo guy yet...whats that in english, lol...where can I get that, or have that done? And roughly how much??

Seriously though, you'll have to do some cutting of your radiator supports to fit an FD fmic, and the piping wouldn't be a good fit. If you're going to do so much work you can just do like RX-7 GT said and buy a Spearco IC core with the endtanks you need. Then you just need to make some piping. The best spot to run the IC pipes would be along each side of the radiator. That usually allows for the shortest path from the turbo to the motor when you're running a front mount.

The FD intercooler is not meant to be front mount. It is mounted behind the radiator in an FD. You could probably do that, and not have problems unless you want to run very high boost. You would have to use aan electric fan, but installation should be very straight-forward and even pretty easy.
