I got mine off ebay, mamba makes a good kit comes with studs, lines, and even oil drain
I only used one water line out of the kit, studs and the oil drain gasket
Doing the water lines back up can be ugly too if you can't get the bolt in on 90 degree angle
easier if you just get a braided line to replace the one closer to the engine, so you just have to manipulate the angle of the turbo to do up the outer one closer to the strut tower
and yes change all the bolts and gaskets, rest is straight forward
It was intended for weight distribution according to Nissan catalogue
They decided that bigger boot space sells better than weight distribution so it's back to the front on non GTR r34s
R34 GTR still has it at the back
Ecu, complete the exhaust, 12psi and that'll get you to the 190-200 mark, and that's the limit of stock turbo
Anymore you'll need to change turbo, potentially injectors and AFM depends on how far you want to take it
And
Would op6 high flow be too small for a standardish dirty thirty with 25 head?
Mid-high range is good enough for me from the op6 high flow on rb25 and I can even live with how it performs on the lower rpms, but more bottom end torque is always a good thing
Use the factory wiring for solenoid
The extra two pins won't drive the solenoid, been there done that
3 wire/ 5 pin harness is for the boost sensor only, the two other pins aren't used on the rb25 neo
Not sure why people dis the factory gauges so much, most of the time it either works or doesn't
Only bad thing about it is the lack of detailed scale
Sensors are shared with the GTR MFD sensors anyway, haven't heard anyone saying that the MFD is inaccurate

R34 TB should fit on r33 manifold so that'll solve tps and keep TCS
This is if u don't go FFP
R34 TB won't work with FFP simply because of lack of space
Other issues I can think of are:
IACV, but I think you can rewire it
CAS
Maybe other sensors eg the map sensor but I don't think r34 PFC uses that as reference like stock ECU
Tbh I don't think it's that hard providing that you keep the stock plenum, or use the r34 plenum on the r33 head? (Not sure if it fits)
Even better swap the head around, then put that hybrid turbo motor into ur r34 sedan
