Default major problem: car won't start

ok, finally finished up everything (except flex pipe inbetween DP and cat).
setup the vafc (afc hack) and i crank the engine, but it only cranks and the engine does not start. baseline was at -36, so i changed to -40, -30 but still does not start. it keeps on making cranking noise, but will not turn over. also, with key in on position, afc shows that intake pressure is at -6 hg.

here's my setup:
99 accord 4cyl f23a
t3/t04e
aeroquip oil return
drag4 mani
tial wastegate (set at 7.5 spring)
drag4 oil feed (ss goodridge)
drag4 intercooler
blitz dd bov
dsm 450cc
resistor box
obd1 clip
autometer egt, af, boost
breather filter

i did double checked the vacuum tee and its connections and they seem okay. i'm guessing the problem to be maybe injectors or ecu issue. can anyone please tell me what could possibly wrong? this really is driving me nuts!

ok, i forgot to mention...

wastegate vacuum is connected to compressor housing. breather filter on the valve cover. i tapped the fpr vacuum for boost gauge and bov.

also, during the install, i broke a oil pressure sending unit, so i had got a replacement part from the dealer. also, i lost a fpr oring, so i had to replace that as well. and i gapped the sparkplug to 0.030 and i'm not running ngk bkr7e i think. my primary suspect is injectors. i got it used from someone on dsmtrader. i guess everyone's out partying on friday night. need major help!!!

did you hook the vafc correctly? did you do the initial setup for the vafc? if so, try putting in different injectors.

i had vafc installed prior to the turbo installation. all i did was tap the ign on ecu for 3 gauges and tap o2 wire for a/f gauge. any more thoughts on this?
