My turbo na ran for the first time!
 
Put the engine back in today and it did really well. Started quickly and idles nicely. AFRs and oil pressure look great.
Problems- It leaks oil from the turbo lines. Will be a pain to fix but I'll get it done. It has a small coolant leak, not a problem. It has horrible lifter tick now. Maybe that's just from sitting for a long time? The manifold started smoking. I'm hoping that's just grime and fingerprints and oil and crap burning off... I hope.
Anyways I think it went pretty well, let me know what you think of it.

Thanks everyone who's helped me along the way so far and answered my dumb questions

Bravo!!!
Good old lifter tick! If it's a brand new manifold I'd expect it to smoke a bit, just oils and contaminants burning off as it gets hot. Same goes for a used manifold I guess.
