Thanks! Big thanks!
Got it running on the second try, I always chuckled a little when it came to people telling stories of the fire department being called, but DAMN. Nothing like seeing a giant two story wall of smoke smack into your house and get sucked around the sides. Probably lost a year or two off my life from inhaling the smoke...End all, I probably ended up injecting ~4oz into each housing, turning by hand.
Using ATF also gives a second benefit, it shows you were EVERY SINGLE exhaust leak is...evidently, I have one around the turbo.
It's been running/smoking, but the smoke has started to die off, I'm letting it idle for a bit longer, then it's going out for 20-30 minutes more to charge up the battery.
So in short, if pulling fuses doesn't work, ATF is the way to go. Going to have to change the oil today too I guess. Damn I'm happy.

Heh, the drive was interesting, the smoke hadn't quite died off 100%, people were looking at my car like it was going to catch fire...about 4 or 5 trips to the redline and there's no smoke!
