Default added turbo now cant start car

ok here goes, I have a 2001 1.8 I had all ready added a megasquirt a skunk 2 a header and exhaust to the car it was running good I bought an MKTurbo kit with intercooler and proceeded to put it on the car ,I had a few issues with fit but managed to get it installed problem is now it wont start ........ it cranks freely but dosent start . I put 550 cc injectors with a DW200 fuel pump I am pretty sure I am getting fuel and spark so Im at the end of my rope. I know I really didnt change that much stuff on the car that would make it not start I had the timing right and I think all vacum lines and such are correct but not sure as i cannot really find any diagrams ......Any suggestions fromany of you masters on this forum would be like finding oil in the bacyard so please somebody point me in the right direction


thanks a lot in advance

Fuel, Air, Spark, Compression. You need to figure out what you're missing. Are the sparkplug wet? Are they sparking? Is your MS reading RPM? Did you install the coils backwards? There's very little to go on here.

Shoot me an email. If the car started before adding the turbo, it should start afterwards.

I would be willing to bet your injector settings are wrong. Double check that.

If you want to rule it out you could always reinstall stock injectors on the old tune to see if it starts.
