Made hella progress today. We hauled the car to my buddies place, he has a lift. Got the trans in, torque arm mounted, crossover pipe and turbo mounted, tapped radiator for coolant crossover, down pipe on correctly, starter back in, intercooler back in.
After hitting it with a thermometer to verify all cylinders were firing, we hit a cold one... Turns out rocker came lose on Cylinder 7 exhaust side...
Had a shop timesert it (From what I was told). Went to torque it back down and this happened. So now we have to drop the motor back out the bottom and have someone repair it again. Figured that would be the quickest way and easiest way.
I'm kinda surprised that all those edges on the Pistons weren't radius dressed with a cartridge roll to reduce the possibility of detonation.......then again I'm sure you're gonna keep the boost moderate.......

It'll be kept moderate....
Few more things to address today before we fire her up.
Drove her home with 1st and 2nd gear. Could not manually shift to 3 or D for some reason. VSS/Speedometer is still not working, going to run new wires to it soon. Small oil leak at the filter, going to replace that and see if it clears up. Scavenge pump is working great, will be getting a Turbowerx pump soon, STS pump is quite old, haha.
Pretty sure you'll be making more than 900 ponies
I'd have a trans built to handle 12-1400 range for when you
Turn the volume up on that bitch
It says 900 but I called and it'll handle 1100 per their site. Lucky for me they're about an hour and half south of me. So I may just go that route and pick it up on my own.
