Got the car running today. It has a fuel pressure issue from the regulator. I am going to pull the regulator off my car and try it.
I was able to crank the injector pulsewidth up enough to get it idling, but gauge wasn't working and regulator is non functional. I think it is just dumping it all back to the tank. Probably play with it on tuesday.
No leaks, and got the cooling system filled and bled.
Once I get the fuel system figured out, build the rest of the exhaust and throw the dash and gauges in it should be ready for a road test and alignment.

Now the car is 400 lbs lighter, th400, going to get a built motor this winter, 2 bar sd(i got a stupid 98 ecu) so 14.7 psi i think easy low 10's, but a high 9 would be awesome.

Yes they are heavy duty stainless flex joints, it is something learned over the long haul. Lots of heat cycles causes the pipes to take a set, these ensure everything will line back up when reinstalled. They are a good idea. You just need to make sure the turbo is properly braced.

Not a bad idea, the pipes will take a set from heat cycles, and sometimes can be a bitch to go back together. The turbo is braced to the block, so the rocking of the motor mounts doesn't affect it in that regard.
