WOHOO!!! First short test drive last night! The timing sounds a little too advanced, and unfortunately with my weird engine setup, I can't set it how I normally would with a dial indicator as it hardly runs when it's already showing advance over the stock setting. So I had to guess and advance it more. It's close though. The bad part is my clutch is slipping when I give it some pedal. It had gotten some oil on it in the past, but I thought it had gotten over it.
Hopefully it will burn off. Also unfortunately I forgot to put a bolt on my inner right wing, and when I turned sharply, my tire grabbed it and started bending it upwards. At least it was a little beat to start with. I also think I have a boost leak between my manifold, turbo, pump and gauge as I get no reading, and probably no extra fuel. The worst part was getting stuck in the snow on an almost flat part of my driveway.
I had broken a front halfshaft a while ago, and hadn't replaced it yet, so only have 2wd. I will hopefully get it all fixed today.
