            Got the trans resealed and on the motor. Got a new TIAL 44mm wastegate and welded the vband onto the existing POS wastegate flange and got that mocked up. Then I was able to get the motor in the car. Got the shift linkage all bolted up and it works great. Bolted back in the slave cylinder and everything feels good. Got my gauges mocked and fit and put the interior back together a little.

            Obviously a good amount of stuff to do but what in the short future i need to hookup the wiring harness, weld in/setup the wideband, heater lines, oil return and lines to gauges, vaccum lines to BOV and waste gate. After that stuff and my megasquirt is in then its on to first start. So pumped.

              Just bought a shitload of exhuast piping + muffler from summit racing. Stoked to build up my own exhuast again but this time not using cut up old exhuast systems haha.

                Ordered some dunlop direzzas off tire rack. My current tires are the equivalent of racing slicks right now lol I'd kill myself driving a turbo car with them. Had to go with 205 50 15's as they are the widest I could go with these wheels, 205 has always been plenty wide handling wise for my e30 but I will definetly expect to have issues finding traction in second and maybe some of third.

                              To me, it seems like it is draining upwards. I would put a 45 there instead. Just the way I see it in my head (I have never dealt with turbo oil drains as of yet, but my current build is going in from the top of the m10 pan so I don't have to worry) it seems like it would build up oil and or cause a restriction right there.

                                If that's all you can afford it's fine.
