Question parking lot tubo build

Im in the army and live in the barracks so I dont have a lift or a garage to work out of. I have an 05 is300 and got a turbo kit from turbo specialties. it came with a garrett t28 turbo, a ecu piggy back and a fule upgrade kit. it fits like a block and a circle hole but i keep hammerin on. Ive got the turbo bolted on and the piping run all the oil lines are run along with the coolant lines but im having trouble with the new fuel lines. Am I blind or is there a stock fuel return line in the engine bay. If not what is a good kit to buy?

It doesn't have a fuel return line. Gotta custom build one. Once I get to my lap top ill send you a link. Or you could just search on my is. Sorry not so helpful right now as I can't do too much from my cell lol.

I'm going to pull the motor this fall to do the internals so i can run more boost. what should I build to withstand like 20 psi?

^ GTE internals.

Never heard of the turbo specialties kit. Look at Swift Racing Technologies, PFS, and Boost Logic for IS300 kits. Good luck

Its a cheap kit. I think the turbo it comes with is pretty small for the 2jz. I personally wouldnt use it.

a t28 is tiny for a 2jz, a stock eclipse gsx comes with a t25. swap it out for at least a 57-trim or a 60-1

Ok so I was stupid to use the kit I did. EPIC FAIL!!! I have a small turbo and the piggy back ecu dosent read the maf sensor right and is not getting enough fuel to the engine and the f***ing injectors that came with the kit are in front of the intake manifold causing fuel to pool in it. I would love to throw the whole kit under a steam roller but i just cant I have to much time and dough invested. I know the turbo will never give me the power i really crave but I don't need over 400 plus my manual trany is only good for like 350 so ive been told. what it comes down to is a Haltech Sprint 500 Full Standalone Computer, some SRT 1,000cc Injectors High Impedance injectors and a Walbro® 255lph High Pressure intank fuel pump. please correct me if im wrong im on my own and I need this thing running. Id love to say I had the cash to throw it away and buy a srt stage 3 kit but I don't.
