Your starting to many tasks at once. First you should of got your engine running and wiring done and then started your suspension setup.

All I need for the engine is a starter ground wire and pick up and install the water pump. Oil. And fuel. Even if I get it started still don't have the trans in it so its not going anywhere.

I thought you still needed to finish the turbo kit.

Don't need the turbos to start the motor. Plus my brother gave this back half kit so I wanted to put it on before hes out of prison and wants it back lol.
