I drove it for 30 minutes, no problems. Then I drove it 1 hr 30 minutes no problems home that night. But the next day i drive it for 10 minutes it over heats, but nice try abc123.

Updates: Dropped the tranny (going to need help from someone to put her back up) Bought an ACT 2600 clutch. So I'm good to go AFTER I fix what I have no discovered. Turbo has a leak in her that drips down to the oil pan, making it look like it was an oil pan leak. Went to drain the tranny, and I think maybe 3 drops of oil came out (not an exageration). Now do I have to resurface my flywheel, or can I just clean it really well with brake cleaner and put her on? I'm really going to need a helping hand tonight when I put her back in, please, anyone in the area willing to help?
You should really resurface the flywheel, usually about $25 and most Napa's do it. Be sure to tell them the correct height to resurface it to, as ACT's are different than stock.

Thanks for the help guys, I ended up buying a new flywheel off a guy on craigslist. So I now have a ACT Light flywheel with a ACT 2600 PP with a ACT prostreet disc for a clutch set up. Put the tranny in last night but got to be to late to finish. This would go a million times faster if I actually knew what I was doing rather then looking it up and bugging this shit out for 15 people on here lol. After I bolt the rest of the tranny in, I'll be fixing the turbo leak. I'm in the business for a 3" exhaust system if anyone has one for sale, and a fuel pump (Looking for something around 255lph)
