Well, we got the turbo in and the car is running. Were letting it warm up and topping off the coolant. The hardest part was the lower oil line when re-installing and getting his old block off plate off the old turbo. Damn thing was like welded on Anyways, install took about 3 hours and we lost a bolt.That took us about 45 mins to not even find. Went to the tool box and dug around and found one that worked.

Garrett how badly was that block off plate on there afterall???
The block off plate might as well have been jb welded on. Swapping that took longer than removing the turbo. We scraped off as much silicone as we could and tried heating it but that didn't help. I ended up getting a razor knife a scraping away between the two until i could fit a flathead screw driver between the two. Got a hammer and tapped it in and pryed it apart.
well, we let it warm up all the way, gassed it a little in nuetral and if feels good. Car is off and cooling down now. Once it's cool again, were gonna run and grab some food.
