Update on "pearls" surgery
well as of today i have finished the rebuild of the engine - as i had suspected would happen upon first try to start the car after 4 minutes of priming she didnt want to start - seemed to be a dead battery- well after a bit of testing and reading, i removed the fuse from the immobiliser - within 20 seconds or should i say first hit from the starter she fired - died - fired - died -and so on for about 5 minutes of mosquito killing smoke - then all of a sudden coff- coff -pop!, she fired up --SHES ALIVE!!!!
FOUND A LEAK IN THE TURBO and TURBO OIL RETURN LINE - THE TOP INTAKE FROM INTERCOOLER HAS GOT OIL IN IT -the other thing is the water pump got i bit of a drip from the freeze plug - soooo i gotta get a new waterpump and a turbo rebuild kit --- SH*@--- just when i thought it was all done -- i even took apart the abs black box before i was done and did a whole lot of soldering - every joint was broken - which accounts for the whole dash lighting up like and x-mas tree-- ANY WAY I WILL KEEP YOU ALL PASTED
THANKS FOR EVERYONES HELP - AGAIN
YOU WERE ALL SOOO HELPFUL!
I HOPE THAT SOME HOW ALONG THE WAY I MAY BE AS HELPFUL TO SOMEONE DOING THE SAME TYPE OF REPAIRS I JUST FINISHED

THE OIL IS LEAKING from the oil return line into the block - i figured out why -- i forgot to put in the new seal "duuuh"-- its ok now but still getting oil in turbo "ick its pull and rebuild time i guess-- my other thing is that my exhaust smells awfully rich -not coolant or oil - like unburnt fuel - i assume that would be because the plugs are not correctly gapped or im using the wrong plugs - would i be correct in my assumption?? im using bosch "plat+2" at the moment -the same type i took out - my other question is i let the car sit and idle for about 5 minutes but the coolant seems to still be cold-- is that because i've not run the car hard enough to heat the coolant to a point to get the thermostat to open - that also i would assume to be correct - but please somebody correct me if im wrong - i think i might pull the thermostat and boil it just to make sure its working ok- car seems to be ok immediate start when i turn the key i guess thats a good sign
