New guy and an 89 4WS.

Greetings,
I am trying to help out my cousin with his 89 Prelude.
He was having it built at a local shop. I do not know the details, but he now has the car in his garage. All over his garage. This is his baby, and is very upset and overwhelmed with it in so many pieces.
I am a heavy equipment mechanic, so I have a pretty good understanding of the whole "put it together" thing.
I do know, so I am told, that it is a B20A5. The plan was to turbo it. The turbo was set to go into the trunk. The spare tire tub was cut out and was braced with tube steal. I have only looked at it for a few minutes, so I was not able to look over the welds and check for integrity. I am a little concerned with the turbo in the trunk. Will it make enough pressure to be effective, will the air be cooled enough, has anyone else seen this done?
I am going to start putting it back together for him, and I am going to take pictures of it along the way.
I am very sure that I will be back on here asking a whole lot of questions.
Jim
