Update:
Stopped by the machine shop to show dude my piston pics and talk prices. I'm going to have him assemble the block including new crank bearings, rod bearings, get the crank/rods/pistons balanced and bored out to match the pistons/rings.
Can anybody tell me what flywheel I have? It's a single mass that is as wide as a dual. I need a new friction (?) plate because mine looks like the San Andreas Fault, see pics. I'll post some more pics of my block.

Thinking about this for the gauges. Boost on left and wideband on right.

Looking forward to seeing this thing finished!

Just ordered this. I'll run my oil pressure gauge and oil feed line to turbo from it.

This afternoon I should have my oil pan off to Competition Cycle for them to weld the bung for the oil return line.

Ready for the bung.
I had to order new exhaust valves this morning. The retainers were so bad they bent the valves.

Hello, TRM CCV kit for the exhaust and Bimmerworld oil pressure sensor adaptor! I'll run the oil for the turbo and the sensor for the VDO pressure gauge from the adaptor.

That oil pan bung looks super good! I get excited every time I see "Last post by: DrLeadFoot". This build is going to be awesome.
Thanks! I'll try to keep this moving. I wanna go fast!

Why not just run a catch can off of the valve cover?

Slightly ported and polished up my exhaust ports. Bought a m-coupe diff cover and started prepping some pieces for paint.

I love those diff covers! Keep the progress coming!
Thanks! I'll start the painting soon. I gotta get the tutorial on how to use the bead blaster then the progress will start snowballing.
Is that the cover from Merton? How much did you get it for?
I got it from Merton but loose lips sink ships!
