85 AMG build

Hey all, I purchased a 1985 190E AMG. The back story is the original owner blew the head gasket and parked it for a few years. The owner before me did some serious fabricating. Replacing the head gasket machining the head and installing new valves and gaskets. I currently have an 8V with an iHI turbo installed.

The car currently requires

The AEM EMS4 stand alone system wired in and tuned.
PS pulley/ Belt
Alternator
Both radiator hoses. Upper "stock" should fit lower custom
Electric radiator fan
Trans cooler (would like to swap a 5spd)
Exhaust- Downpipe back.
A Detailing
Brakes... I should do an upgrade.
E brake is stuck
Caps made for EGR delete
Many misc nuts, bolts, parts and, TIME!

If anyone has experience with installing or fine tuning a boosted 2.3, 8 valve. Please comment!

Thanks
Brian
