ok i replaced the stock turbo with a small 16g. i install everything and it wont start. the afc wont come on but all the other lights and guages come on. the car will turn over just wont fire up. i replaced the relay i forget what the name of it is but its the one under the dash on the pass. side by the ecu. which i also got rebuilt and still wont start. im not getting any spark somewhere and i dont get why the afc wont turn on. i didnt even mess with anything electrical when i put the turbo on and now it just wont start. i dont know shit about dsms just that its been nothing but a pain in the ass since i got it. i wish i still had my corrado at least i knew how to fix it every week 😉 any dsm guys know what it could be? i really need to fix it so i can sell it. thanks

do you have a timing light? see if you’re getting spark to each plug wire… start there and let us know.

has the car not run since you had the ecu re-done? That’s what I blame. I’ll give you $400 for the car w/o the turb…

actually u know what scrap that…my bet is you blew the alt fuse putting the turbo in since the alt sits so close to the housing, the interior lights will come on but the ecu won’t and the afc wont’ either…check that instead i bet that’s where your prob is
