Thanks to everyone for posting this has been a great inspiration to me and I am sure I am not the only one. Keep the posts coming.with any luck I will be firing mine up next week.
Well it runs that is a good start.still some tuning to do. ramping up boost slowly curently at 10#. It just feels good to drive the car again!

Hey Broke EF, what are you using for a turbo to manifold gasket? Is that a silicone of some kind?
Thanks guys!
We just use copper permatex. We have tried gaskets, and a combination of permatex and a gasket. We have had pretty much every gasket fail which could be because the flange isn't 100% flat? Not really sure why, but they fail on us. The permatex holds up just fine for us, and we don't have to worry about having a spare gasket around if we need to take it apart.
I had a gasket blow on my beater civic, and just permatex'ed it a few months ago. I beat the **** out of the car daily and put a lot of miles on, and as far as I can tell its still not leaking
