well over the last few months i had my engine built. i put my turbo stuff on and broke her in. the problem is that it leaks oil. i replaced the oil pan gasket and put silicone in instead. that didnt solve the problem. since then i have sold my mani and dp and im in tennessee for school. im going home this weekend and im gonna put my stock header on and cat and take it up to the engine builder. my question is will the engine run bc i have 72lb injectors and a jwt tune w a 300zx mafs. i think it will run but i want to be sure before i do this work. also, do u think the engine builder should fix the oil leak? i think its coming from the headgasket(cometic).

Should be fine, assuming everything else is OK...turbo ECU tune with no boost = stock N/A performance.

Definitely have him look for the oil leak. An oil leak from between the block and head sounds really bad. Maybe its coming from the valve cover??
