OEM USDM (notice the ugly reflector on the side):
OEM JDM:
(EDM and UKDM I think are the same... might be the same as USDM though. Not sure. Only thing I know is these two different OEM taillights are the only OEM del Sol taillights there are)
Aftermarket (just to show you how sh!tty my other options are):

Ok, so I might have a change of plans. Might use a DSM T25 instead of the garrett T3 I was planning on. Just gotta find out some more details on the condition and if the setup is A/C compatible.
He's selling a DSM T25, charge piping, intercooler, HF to T25 flange adapter, downpipe, oil lines, and tapped oil pan all for $350. If I do this deal, I will save $665 in the long run compared to my current plan, because I won't need to use the external wastegate, won't need a custom downpipe made, and then the savings I would get from buying all this stuff as a whole. Also, it's all from a del Sol with a D16Z6. He used an HF manifold on his setup, and i'm using one on mine, which means that the turbo will be mounted in exactly the same spot as it was on his. This means that his downpipe will fit my setup perfectly and the intercooler and piping will fit perfectly as it is already cut to fit the same exact car.
I'm really excited about this. Hopefully it works out. Maybe I can get him to hold it for me for a week or two or pay him a little bit now as a deposit for him to hold it for me and pay him over the course of the next 2 weeks or so before he ships it to me.

Cut the zip ties holding my radiator slim fan on and made my own custom brackets.
I didn't take pics, but it looks similar to this (this picture gave me the idea)... except I used all 4 mounting points.

Just ordered an Edelbrock standard-t25-flanged a/c compatible turbo manifold. Got it for $80 shipped. Gonna use a T25/T28-to-DSM T25/TD05 adapter flange. Decided i'm probably going to buy this DSM T25 from this guy on SolSociety. If that doesn't work out then i'll just buy one from someone else, or get a DSM 14B or something.
I'll be selling my ported HF manifold with HF/T3 adapter plate
