I dont know how the 86 is done but what I would do is unplug your injectors so no fuel is shot into your cylinders and Crank the engine over for a little while and that will prime the turbo with engine oil and not start the car.
I'm looking for a good shop that would do a quality job removing and installing the transmission. I was going to go jacks transmission, but it sounds like quality is not great so I'm going pure.
I live in northern wy so if anyone knows a good shop in SD, or Montana let me know also.
