DIY rear mount? Im going to be building a rear mount kit for my 02 camaro and I have a few questions. These are my current mods:
1.- LT's and True duals (I plan on removing them and putting back the stock manifolds and an off road y-pipe w/exhaust wrap.) Which off road y-pipe is everyone running? The only ones I can seem to find say for 98-99 only.
2.- HSW plate kit (going to remove it aswell)
3.- Performabuilt tranny w/ 3500 stall
4.- Small cam (dont know the specs, was in car when I bought it)
5.- Prof. Prod. intake (probably gonna take it off and replace it with a LS6 intake)
My plan is to use either a MP T70 or T76 turbo, which a/r housing would you recommend me to use. I plan on running 2.5" cold piping back to the intercooler and then out of the intercooler run 3" to the TB. From reading previous posts im going to run a Mocal scavenge pump. Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hey man I went throught all the DIY stuff for a RMT myself, I can save you a lot of time and money. It was fun while i was without girlfriend, but I've decided to go back to stock 
I miss the neck breaking acceleration getting on the highway already.. and have just about everything you need to build a better than STS turbo system is for sale here

u dont NEED to take off the LTs/ORY but if u have the time and resources go for it.. I heat wrapped my intermediate pipe all the way to the turbo and left the LT and ORY on - i start boosting at about 2700rpm and hit 10 psi at like 3250rpm. the manifolds also make it raspy, some say too raspy.
The oil pump u suggested is a fine choice. i'd go with the T76 with a .9x a/r hotside - nice mix of power and response.
To compare im running a t67 turbo with a .81 a/r hotside - mustang dyno with barely any timing i put down 490/520 lol

I actually did think about trying the MP T76 w/.96 turbine but I was really worried that it might not spool very quick. How well do you think it would spool with my 3500 stall?
