Well, it seems the donor car was likely in the junkyard due to a hamfisted timing belt swap and then a series of other "fixes" that generally added up to a non-running car.
It looks like someone attempted to change the timing belt using the "dot" method of alignment. It was a tooth off. Remedied that using tools (and the Porsche bell housing that is very easy to remove from the car).
Started to check injection pump timing, and realized the fuel injection pump is not right. The plunger only travels .70 mm! Luckily I have a spare boost-compensated one (Bosch probably has different words, but I can't remember them right now), and due to the way I am misusing this engine even a non-compensated pump will work.
It looks like somebody has replaced the turbo at some point. We'll get it set up using the right tools (I should check the torque on the crank pulley) and fire it up before we put it in the car.
