Update since last post:

installed starter,

car cranks,

no compression...

Put in some MMO and let it sit overnight, cranked the FAWK out of it the next day, finally flooded it 3 times, and it fired up... Compression is back up to 100psi front and rear (roughly) and the cars starts and runs, doesn't die, and doesn't catch on fire... thank god..

Next thing I notice is that the boost gauge is reading 5inHg vacuum at idle... And the car wont accelerate past 3800rpm very well.

Also having problems with bleeding the brakes, the master cylinder leaked right onto my fresh paint job, had to buy a new one.

I bench bled the MC, and bled the calipers twice, but my brakes still feel like crap.

Right now, I havent had time to mess with it again for a while, but I'll try to keep this updated more often.
