So I took off friday with excitement to get the car turned on after a long overdue wait! and while wrapping up loose ends noticed that I was leaking coolant from one of my coolant lines running to the turbo because the end ripped the hose! well we fixed that and finally pushed the car out of the garage to start it (knowing there would be a lot of smoke fromt he oil in the enginge that was there to keep the seals lubed)
Well, good news is... the car turned over with no problem what so ever! bad news was... smoke from the engine bay right away! after two more tries and getting the same effect noticed oil under the car! after a few look arounds we jacked the car up and found oil... long story short is the manifold is cracked and the oil was leaking out of there. SO IT ALL NEEDS TO COME OUT AGAIN to get he manifold fixed! argh....
Here is a pic of the car out for its "so close yet so far" finally out of the garage pic.

was in the garage working yesterday and I got a new tool box... came with this sweet sticker! figured. hey its red! let me put it on mobeoners car cuz its red too... I think it looks greeeaaaaatttt!!!
also aside from stickering up mobeoners car... Albert (2RotorsNaDream) came by to look at what a real single turbo looks like since he is talking so much smack over there. hahaha. He stuck around to BS about **** and helped me out pulling the manifold back out!
Were able to get it off without having to take off the DP and without taking off the turbo lines! Going to get it fixed and then waiting on some new bolts to come in and hopefully it can be back in and ready to start up again on Saturday!
