OK, the plenum in the big chamber on the intake manifold (I think "plenum" is latin for pressure). On FWD cars it usually faces towards the gearbox (except in GTi swifts) which, when you mount it RWD, means it goes right up against the firewall. On my car, which sounds exactly like yours, (ie. unfinished KE20 with a 20V conversion) I am using an aftermarket computer with a crank angle sensor. This means I have chucked the dizzy and airflow meter (AFM) and will simply have trumpets and socks on the throttles. The thermostat housing was the bigest headache, as I mentioned, check out the gallery section on this site. It has a PDF file that youngy made of my conversion, mostly just the tricky plumbing. If you are serious about a turbo I would probably recommend looking at a CA-18DET. I know its not a toyota engine but the cost of doing a decent RWD turbo 4AGE will be far greater if you take into account the stuffing around fitting a supra box (or even a quaife sequential six speed). But if it MUST be a toyota engine and you want to go turbo I'd stick to the smallport, the 20V will be more hassle than it's probably worth.
So if the engine is to remain stock the 20V would be the go, if you're game to take on the hassles of fitting it. But if you want a turbo, go smallport (or nissan), or even better, start with the supecharged motor. But you can see the problem with building a turbo 4AGE, is that you need to buy parts from 3 or 4 different engines to build one decent one, plus stuffing around getting it all put together and tuned properly...
In the end it's up to you though. And if you want more detailed info on the 20V swap email me.
