i know it sucks because it's sideways. my videographer (girlfriend) forgot not to rotate her phone for video (apparently she has to rotate it 90* for pics but no rotate for video......... whatever.)

the hard start was because i didn't have any glow plugs wired in. they're all new (I put them in the benz when it was still a whole car) and it fires up perfect on a cold february morning so i know that's my only issue. and yea. that was ust open turbo for now. did you hear the turbo spool up??? this thing is gonna be sweet!!!!!!
