well its out, i did it without doin the trans.. wasnt bad at al actually, the only thing that held me up was the a/c compressor cuz one of the mounting bolts was stripped, so i... winged it... yea so otherwise, it was a breeze.

i got it running today, it sounds great and the compression is at 165-170psi. i have a vacuum leak that i have to track down though. im excited that i put the motor together properly!!

Congrats!

You got the engine going, but what is the status of the turbo setup?

status on turbo set-up... ive got the mounting flange welded onto the exhaust manifold, need to weld on the wastegate flange, i need to cut my pipes and order some couplings, need to figure out how to mount the intercooler, need to figure out what to do about a tune, thats about it. still a good amount of work. ive been busy with life so i havent really had alot of time to get anything done. but its slowly coming along.
