Are you really having that much trouble? I found all the info fine. Amazing Nate's write up is very in depth and is a little too detailed for someone who doesn't know too much about cars. All you need to do is sit down with a friend who knows this stuff and have him explain this stuff to you, that's what I've been doing this past month. I've learned so much I must've been a complete n00b 2 months back. The parts really arent that hard to find. Depends how much you also want to get out of your turbo. Personally, I'm going to go all out, so I started with getting the forged internals and I am going to go through with buying the camshafts still (since I had it checked out by my friend who owns an import shop).
You're going to want to change the transmission to a 5speed manual V6 ones from a Camry

if you want to be able to handle more power (and it's stronger)
As far as finding all the parts, start by looking at the manufacturers sites since they'll probably have them the cheapest. It also takes searching in here
