I resolved the glow plug issue, I made a mistake when I re-wired the glow plug relay. As far as I can tell, the glow plugs are operational.
The car still doesn't start, but I have a new concern. The PO stated that he was selling the car because the turbo seized (this was true, but the wiring harness was also disintegrated). I rebuilt the turbo, but now I'm wondering if there could be an oil pressure issue that caused it to fail in the first place. With the oil feed bolt cracked on the turbo, there is no visible oil pressure when cranking the car. I checked the banjo bolt, and it looks clear, as does the feed line as far as I can see. When/If I am able to get the car running, I'd prefer to know that my oil pressure is ok, especially to the turbo.
My plan is to replace the oil filter, as that could create a restriction, and check/replace the oil pressure bulb in the dash, which does not come on. Other than that, is there anything simple I can look for? The oil level is ok.
