Well after checking the compression last night, that seems to be the problem. I didn't stick around all night but there were a few others trying to help out. I really don't know if another issue was found or not. When I left it seemed the motor had to be ripped apart due to the fact that the machine shop did a horrible job on the bottom end.

Welp God wasn't willing. 
It's in the hands of Max right now. Im not completly sure if someone at the machine shop, fucked up. Or if the rings just havent been able to seat to allow compression. I retorqued the head, the compression rose some. When we added oil the compression rose, but not in great amounts. Only 10psi or so. It's something with timing, It's just getting it right, that's hard.

Nothing good to report. Feed line for turbo gasket needs to be ordered. I went to Autozone, Napa, Ace, and Advanced, looking for one. The engine has severe blowby. Compression is still low in the first 3 cyls. I'll be calling the machine shop tomorrow.
All in all, a bad weekend for the Z. Much thanks to Max for getting her started. Ignition is somehow way off, and he managed to get her running when myself, nor my friends could. Sucks that the car runs, but smokes up a city block.
