Thanks again for your help Craig.
I'm busily trying to find a SVO specific clutch quadrant. It is slightly different than the 5.0 quadrant. It can be made to work, but I prefer NOT to rig when given the chance.
Oil leak issue will be solved shortly. Exhaust leak will be solved by an ATR 3-inch downpipe and new manifold gaskets. What does the downpipe have to do with the exhaust leak? Nothing...just an excuse to upgrade while the turbo is off the car.

Also ditching the split-y exhaust and going with a single 3-inch outlet with a Magnaflow muffler. w00t.
