how does the timing belt cover go back on if you welded to the ip support?
Where did you acquire the engine?
I see aluminum oxide was sticking one valve open. Glad to see it was not anything worse.
Good idea to place a new timing belt and tensioner on it. I don't understand why you have to do so much fabrication to fit a Turbo. Didn't the turbo come with it? And what's with the exhaust manifold? Didn't come with it either? You received a five cylinder manifold, not a 4 cylinder manifold from a Ebay purchase? But you made it work. Amazing.
I would take the Dodge halfshafts and the VW halfshafts to a local prop shaft fabricator and have them match them up and balance them.
What are your plans with the low pressure fuel delivery from the tank?
