I fitted custom coolant drain -> thermostat housing connectors to bring coolant to the rear of the block as previously discussed many times on this forum.
Fitted custom turbo oil delivery connectors on the block. Have to produce a gasket for the oblong turbo oil connector as it's missing.
Did a rough assembly of the new turbo core + housings. Turns out there's some small cracks in the hot side of the housing, I am not worrying too much, if it blows- I hope it's very unlikely that it messes up the cold side and sends metal in to the intake.
Broke off an M6 bolt in the block for the pump housing. Spent 7 hours MIGing and TIGing it out.
Here's some pics of the connectors.

The coolant drain hole thread was messed up from the aluminum plug that was there originally.
Cleaned out the threads.
I think it was M18-1.5 for the coolant and M16-1.5 for the oil (maybe I am mixing them up).

The engine is coming together nicely.
