Got it started and driving, but have a couple of things I need to work on.
1)Had pressure in the crank case so I vented the valve cover to atmosphere until some couplers come in to route it over to the intake.
2)While working on my oil line it started leaking. Pulled it apart and redid the connections only to find it had stripped one of the major fittings. Decided I didn't want to deal with this line and trying to make a diy oil restrictor so I ordered a new line and fittings.

New oil pressure line. Added a 1.5mm restrictor instead of the 2mm one that was on there. Was blowing smoke on decel and at idle. Oil leaking from turbo.
Rerouted valve cover hose to turbo intake side. Crank pressure issue is solved.
Moving the oil return to the front of the upper oil pan. Turbo is pissing out everywhere. Bought a new one. Waiting for it to arrive.

Good points. You did get a wide band right? Did you pull the head or anything? Timing chain isn't advanced 1 tooth or something? I had no detonation with this setupI BUY/SELL REFURBISHED CM5907s & CM5908s
