Um.... Yea with out a Boost controller you will over boost and blow the fuck out of your enigne. but that right now has nothing to do with your car not starting.

not necessarily. if his wastegate has a 9lb spring or something smaller he'll be fine. boost controllers just trick your wastegate.
reconstruction.

jack up the car and with a flat hand rap on the fuel tank while some one is trying to strart the car. or you can diconnect the fuel filter and cycle the key to check for fuel.. if you have fuel check for spark fist look at the coil block see if any wires pulled from the conector. if you are still stuck have it towed to tousely and ill fix it :twisted: :twisted:
