Added oil to the turbo before reassembling the top gasket, finished her up late last night. Currently the intake is my old honda filter (clean), the oem tubing and a pvc adapter between the filter and tubing. Car hasn't been started in a while and many changes have been made, but it fired up pretty quickly on the first try after 3 seconds of turnover. No oil leaking from any of the replaced gaskets! I let the car idle for almost a half hour and then shut it off and checked for more leaks. None to be found so far.
Then gave it a drive for about 15-20 miles completely off boost and now I'm checking again for leaks but so far so good. I'll put a couple more miles on and then give the turbo a test under load.
Car's running great though! Very smooth and much more responsive. Compared to how the car ran when I purchased it, it feels completely different- in a good way.
