Author: hj (AZ) why do you have an "ejector" pit and pump, if you do NOT already have a toilet going in to it?

Author: packy (MA) where the words 'shower drain' are, cut in a 2 inch 'y'. roll the branch up, put a 45 in it and run that back to a wall. that will act as a wet vent for the toilet and the shower. if you want, you can drain a vanity into that 2 inch at 18 inches above the floor.
