So, I decided to just go back and make sure they were securely in, and sure enough one of the connectors wasnt in completely. I pushed it in until it clicked and had my bro turn the key, and it started right up! First time it held an idle for about a few seconds then died. Second time I let it idle for about 20 seconds and it ran just fine. Its about time its coming together. Next step is routing the intake piping for the turbo and the intercooler. Time to go and celebrate! Thanks to everyone that helped! Special thanks to Rick Blackford, Brad Noon, Brian Phillips, Nikolas @ DuratecPerformance, Street Flight, Terry Haines @ Haines Motorsports, Keyser, Warmonger, Bill Jenkins, my brother Scott and my dad. They helped out A LOT with this project! Also, the rest of CEG with their support. Hopefully I didnt miss anyone.
