Well got the motormounts installed . That was a royal pain in the AZZ . Had to drop the oil filter and starter . Guess where the oil filter is? Directly above the starter . Yep you guessed it dumps right on the starter . In order to pull the starter you have to pull the filter . So there is no winning. So the mounts are in , oil filter on , and starter back in. Went to drain the pan and you guessed , the oil pan drain threads are stripped out. Thank goodness for a over size self tapping oil pan plugged.

Got it all together and warmed up and took it fro a road test . There is quite some turbo lag until the boost comes on and then hold on . It was to the point of spinning all four tires on the wet pavement . Did find a weak half shaft that I must replace and I seen the engine temp was rising when in boost . Gotta check out what is up with that. This car is going to be fun
