So I finally got the turbo kit out. Here are some pics of the carnage:
Found the missing bolt
. Man it's a pain in the *** to find M10 x 1.25 bolts. This time around I'm going to drill a hole in the bolt and install a cotter pin to keep it from falling out again.

I also ran into the issue of multiple semi rounded stock exhaust manifold nuts so I spent the bucks and bought some ARP studs.

I run the turbo to manifold with no gasket. Just get some stock washers from Mitsubishi for the turbo bolts. They are concave to keep pressure even during heat expansion. It is a hard battle to keep turbo bolts tight. The previous owner of my manifold welded the turbine housing to the manifold. No loose bolts or leaking gaskets that way.

Finally got it back together. Here are some pics:
Cleaned up the turbo a little bit. I hit it with a Mother's Powerball a couple of times:
Found a small hole in one of my boost lines so I had to fix it:
Re-did some vacuum lines:
Finally finished:
