Just did a few hard runs with the car.
All I can say is damn last night I wasnt sure if all this effort I put into the turbo kit really paid off. After that drive. I'm totally sold. That ---- rips. No traction first and second and redline comes fast as ----. Slapped into 3rd it hooked and I flew to 100mph. 
Came home checked the plugs all black/brown except cyl1 (see thread: https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...threadid=11430) which was a dark black with a little white around the top of the porceline (its always been a little whiter for some reason). But ----. If you guys have any doubts about sohc turbos. Slap yourself really really hard. Im 139% satisfied. Now about that clutch.... 
Tuesday isnt coming fast enough.

looks good man. i would test your plug wires just clean connectors and put a multimeter on both ends check resistance. the resistance will vary with length but should all be in the same ballpark. I had the same problem on my 90 lude if i remember right it was a loose connector in the #1 plug wire.

Re:Just did a few hard runs with the car.
thats a great idea i have never seen before using the stock DSM 02 housing as the downpipe. how does that work? iv never seen a stock DSM 02 housing so i dont know what the bends look like on it. how does it connect to the rest of your exhaust?

Re:Just did a few hard runs with the car.
Sorry for the late reply, was in Atlanta all weekend. The dsm o2 works fine. Its just a like 90 degree down pipe. Then used a flange that goes back straight to the muffler. The wires are brand new so I doubt its a loose connection. In that pic it was JBWeld now its some quick 4 min epoxy stuff that I'm in love with.
