Engine and box are in, bolted up. Waiting for tailshaft to be done and just need to put intake manifold and wiring harness back on and it should be right. So maybe another month haha
Getting there slowly, fuel lines done, manifold on and wiring done. Tried to get it to turn over but it doesn't want to know about it. Thought it might be a software issue but starting to think the battery is nearly flat too, which probably doesn't help.
Ah yes of course, I was getting confused with connecting the compressor cover directly to the wastegate. Hmmmm so I guess I'm maybe looking at either an exhaust issue or a boost leak. I've swapped the factory BOV valve in for the drive to work tomorrow - probably done enough driving around the neighbourhood like a knob for one night.
