Update

Car should be ready for first spin tomorrow. Got all the driveshaft stuff figure out and all bolted with new guibo and center bearing install all the braces and heat shields.
Only thing left to do before the first spin is to wire the scavenger pump and well conect the hoses and stuff but that's pretty much it. Tomorrow should be a very good day

Its awesome to have a project get to the point were you feel like a kid waiting for Santa again

I too have all the hardware to install a new guibo and all the plastic bits to get the slop out of the shifter. I just cant get the rusted **** apart in my exhaust to do it. Half tempted to start saving for a 6 swap just to get rid of some of the **** rust

great news every one.

car is finally driving, pulled the car out of the garage for the first time since i blew my motor six months ago, took the car for a spin around the block couple times and everything seems to be working pretty good, no bugging down or anything like that it rides smooth and pulls hard even tho i havent boost yet, just gotta work on some minor bugs and finish up the exhaust and turbo piping for the project to be 100% done

enjoy some of the videos.
