Ok It looks like I got most of the vacum lines,t urbo, ect and i just added oil. Now my stupid ? is coolant. I know i need to add coolant to radiator but do i need to add some to the intercooler too? Also any other things I should check before i turn the key?:tup:

Re: need start up help
Sorry, but if this is a fresh build then do what Bundie said. Only go a bit further. Pull the ECM fuses (so you won't flood it) and pull the plugs so there is no load on the bearings. Then spin it with the starter 'till you have oil pressure. Reinstall plugs and fuses and fire away.
There will be air in the coolant system. After it has warmed up check the radiator (not just the header tank) especially the next morning when it has cooled completely.
All my usual :2cents: on these things.
Enjoy!!!
