Jon,

Looks great. Is that pump for the turbo oil return?

At first I though that might be rust at the up-pipe/turbo flange. Is that RTV?

Scott, thanks! Yeah, its a turbowerks scavenge pump. I don't have the motivation at this point to tap the pan with it on the car, so I am going the pump route. The turbo is plenty high enough to gravity drain to the pan.

I used red rtv at the flange... so it probably looks like rust!
