Well a little update is in order...
The interior is a little bit more complete now. The dash is back together, installed the plastic steering surround with a little green light from a 4runner, put the altimeter tip gauges on the passenger side of the dash, and made a custom double push button light setup that lights up when you open the doors and when you hit the button.
Also, we cut the fenders to put Saab 900 side marker lights in that will be dim when the lights are turned on, and blink bright when the directional is on.
The turbo is out because it keeps leaking oil somehow. It was rebuilt, checked for trueness, and balanced. We'll see how it goes.
I will get some pictures up soon.

does it require a restricter?

At first it was burning oil because it could not send the oil back to the pan well enough and because there was too much oil pressure. So we turned the oil pressure back to stock, made a better return line, and put a little copper limiter on the feed fitting.
It is still leaking a little bit, so we're taking the turbo apart for inspection.

my GT35R requires a restrictor on the feed side to reduce the amount of oil going to it. If you don't you'll toast the center section. On these once they start burning oil they will never stop as the section is not serviceable.
