Default Cranking car up?

Ok, after installing my turbo kit, recently I have been having alot of issues trying to start my car. The motor turns and turns but no start. Recently I replaced the old plugs with newer used stock plugs that ran fine. The car started up but the next day it started doing the same thing. First start of the day always starts up but 15 minutes later it wont start, and I let it sit for about 1.5 hours til it starts up again. I check the wires and on wire 1 there is rusty residue from some kinda liquid. Wires 2,3,4 were clean but today i notice some rusty residue also. Checked the distributor but couldnt really tell if spark was hitting. I am changing the plugs out tommorrow for some NGK BKR7E. I have a stock fuel pump with a 12:1 FMU.

Any suggestions as to why it may take several cranks to start or I have to let it sit for like an hour (to cool down i guess) before I can start her up again.

Stock B16a2
Custom Turbo
12:1 FMU

well rust would indicate a coolant leak. blown head gasket IMO. any white smoke?
