new air filter(800miles old)
850CCA battery, also jumpered to my roommates idling car
diesel 911 in the bolt-on filter, lines to injector bled.
valves done at around 200k

couldn't get it to start for an hour(on&off)
eventually let the engine cool down, and then shot a small amount of ether post-turbo to get her turning over. She's idling outside with oil pressure at the proper level, and will stay idling until I'm done packing. Then she gets driven home(200miles through the snowbelt) and parked in the shop while i decide if I should part it out or put more $$ into it.

I think I need a new car.
