Drain plug should be in today! But I'm working so I won't be able to do much until next Monday. I did start the car on Monday without coolant and let it run for about 20 seconds before shutting it off. What a novelty- a car that runs!! Added the matching driver's side Verus injector cover

I have also been informed by turbo guard that they are several weeks behind in production. What does this mean for me? I have no filter or protection for my turbo, so there is no way it is leaving the shop until something is protecting it. Maybe I'll find time to put together an intake pipe for the filter I purchased already.

With no visible fluid leaks and long cranking, I know we've got work to do. Likely it needs less fuel on startup - lower compression ratio. When it idled, it seemed pretty good. A couple hiccups could be any number of things. Hopefully more to come next week, maybe a video?
