vex will become famous soon enough
Car has started but there's a few things wrong that I've found so far:

the car is leaking oil like a sieve from the turbo drain flange. I have to wait for the car to cool down and figure out a way to tighten it. May need to remove the compressor housing and go at it that way.

The car is running improperly. It's pulling a vacuum of -3.9 inHG at almost 1000RPM. Which isn't right. It should be pulling much, much more than that. I've checked for a vac leak, but couldn't find any.

The car also seems to be running peculiarly... almost like it's missing. On top of that the AFR is reading in the neighborhood of 12:1 which is way off (should be reading just under stoich).

One of the EGT's isn't reading correctly and I think it might be that the wires or the amplifier got fried some where. anyways it sounds like it's running on two rotors; the EGT I can read says that at idle i'm putting out somewhere in the neighborhood of 750-1000F.

I think this is informing me that I have a lot of tuning to do. If anyone is available to help me today, please help me. I need to get my car up and running/drivable today at the latest.

WE3--If you're willing to make a road trip to help me I would greatly appreciate it.
