Thank you for your suggestion. I checked the manifold this morning. It appears to be flush on all sealing surfaces with the gasket, and its tight. The bracket you mentioned is on the bottom right manifold bolt and it appears to be a bracket to hold the air hose where it bends around the head to go to the fresh air tube. I checked and the bracket is not between the manifold and the head.
Car is able to idle today, but not last night, however it is surging at idle from around 1000 to 1500 rpm. There is now no turbo boost at all, at least nothing noticeable when I press hard on the gas, which was not the case last night, I had good power when I first started out last night, the motor was making decent power, it would just not idle. By the end of my test drive, it wasn't making good power either and it would not idle.
I pulled the spark plug cover off and made sure all the plug wires were on tight. There was no water sitting around the plugs from the pressure washer.
I suspect part of the problem may have been the pressure wash of the engine last night when I finished, I wanted to clean off all the old oil to confirm that I no longer had leaks. I definitley am still leaking, have not figured out where yet. I will again check the cam seal to see if it is blown out again.
I checked all the turbo hoses and connections again, they are all tight.
I am going to go back through and disassemble everything I did from the point after I bolted the manifold back on to see if I can figure out what I screwed up. I suspect I blew off a hose somewhere, or I mis routed some of the plumbing connections.
