Wow! I had no clue! I don't even remember removing that connector but thank you so much!!! I finally finished my job with fixing this baby up and turning it on made me so anxious. But did it and the sound was music to my ears. Very happy with the results! Only thing that's worrying me is some smoke coming out from the turbo from under the heat shield, I'm assuming it's the oil line or it could be some of the left over burnt oil in that area, even though I did my best to clean it.
Your blue smoke is probably just residue, but the oil line is a major low-reliability item. Most people change it any time they're in there --- good preventive maintenance practice. Give it a few miles of local driving and if it doesn't clear up, change the oil line.
Now, isn't it time to get back to school? Missing the first week is not a good way to start a semester.

Nest time you do a major repair, mark the connectors as you disconnect them --- makes the re-assembly much easier.
