Right guys, she lives 
D Man was my heart pumping on those first few attempts. Running veg makes it extra exciting with all those coughs and splutters and false starts you get on it. Anyway, yes, she does live, but the turbo whistle seems really loud, I can't figure out whether it is worse for wear or just because it is open turbo. It does sound ear piercing at some points. I have taken a few videos of it running anyway.

In other news:
Jacked the engine right up to get to the mani bolts and the f*cking intake air ducting pushed on the MC and caused fluid to leak out of the fecker a fair deal. Let it back down and the fluid stopped leaking. Gonna put up a thread for it so that I can get some advice, trying to keep this thread just for my project.

The only thing I am really weary about (apart from having no idea whether the turbo is okay or not) is the friggin' heater matrix hose being right on front of the turbo exhaust housing outlet. I put my hand there and it wasn't too hot, but I don't know how that will be after sustained driving. I am guessing very hot.
Okay guys well does anyone have any ideas what to check before I put it all back together? I have checked for oil leaks-none present. I just have to sort my inlet out and then whack the top mount back on and get an exhaust elbow sorted. I have read on these forums that the angle is 60 degrees so got my protractor out, does that mean the middle of the exhaust elbow should be 60 degrees? So for a 3 inch elbow, like 1.5 inches in?
