I haven't seen a rubber oil pan gasket, also haven't really seen one 
leaking (maybe because they are harder to get to to overtorque out of 
boredom?)

Any auto parts store ought to have them.  Or, at least, a foreign auto 
parts store.  Oil pan gasket about $12 or so as I recall.

Aerodynamics more than anything.

By the way, if you go MC-1/2 for your upgrade, "most" of the parts you 
might acquire for your JT will fit (wires, cap, rotor, engine mounts, etc.)

In some ways, the 10v turbos are just "bolt in" swaps.  The two areas 
that aren't are wiring/engine management and plumbing - intake and 
exhaust tracts.  I guess that would be true of the 20vt as well - the 
main thing is they all use the same block casting, so all the big bolts 
go in the same place.
