Nice
That wastegate burn hole is what happens when you get too close to the glow plug controller with a wrench and touch the big power stud and the wastegate actuator with said wrench. Nice big sparks. That, or removing the bolts holding the GPC in place and touching it directly.
Of course, if you disconnected the batteries first, it wouldn't happen, but... who ever does that?
You seem to be doing a stellar job, and it seems to be coming together nicely. I love the auber gauge install that is slick!
Are you going to turn the fuel up before the dyno, during, or after. I honestly would be very interested to see what power you make not turning up the fuel, just installing the turbo.
I would suggest you take a screwdriver to the valley pan, and punch a few holes. I hope you already know this if you have been waiting years to turbo, but if not I hope to save you a headache down the road!
Pfft, I don't even unhook them for a starter swap anymore.That wastegate burn hole is what happens when you get too close to the glow plug controller with a wrench and touch the big power stud and the wastegate actuator with said wrench.

I don't like where the intake spigot is on the back of the intake, I will modify the intake and put one on the front. This is very fugly but for now I ran a 1" hose from the front-mounted CDR around the intake

Looks fine to me. That's a perfectly viable alternative to knocking a hole in the valve cover for the ATS kits. If you really want to split hairs, you could always make a bent steel tube like you did for the trans filler
