Well I finished off the job last night and this morning and started her up today. After a final check and new fluids she fired into life first crank. No leaks, no rattles, no clearance issues, nothing. I idled her for about 15mins with no issues. Even ran the air cond for most of the time. Everything was spot on. I went and gave her a wash as it was covered in dust.
I bought a brand new Garrett GT3582R this week so now all that is left is to install some injectors, a Walbro fuel pump and off to get a tune in her. I can only idle the car and possibly do a bit of gentle off boost driving but I am so tempted to go for a boost in it Everything has come up very nicely. I still have to give the engine bay a damn good wash/de grease and clean up some cables etc. The bumper has to stay off for now as it has a broken bracket so I have to get another one I think. Here are a few pics.
Being that I am a closet Ford fan, here is an awesome pic of the turbo and some other pics of the car:
