Well I woke up from my recovery nap and felt pretty solid. Wife made later dinner, and off to the garage I went.
Installed new pump-
Fixed fuel leak (Vlad will laugh about this one)
Installed few other needed tid bits before I attempted to start it; clutch slave, throttle cable, all grounds, all ignition, battery (trunk) cables, some final ECU wiring, built an intake for MAF-
Fucking thing fired up on the first crank. A Day late and a dollar short of the goal, but it was nice to have it rump rump rumping in the garage on jack-stands on its own, I am sure pissing off the neighbors.
Still needs more wiring and buttoning up before any test drives-but rest assured if the spare parts motor holds up-the turbo will be at Max shaft speed in no time at all
