Default car wont start, really need help

ok, get this, one day the car is running great, no problem, went to the waffle house in between my to classes and well i come out and nothing. i go to crank it up, and nothing, no fuel pump, no anything. i call my my friend he comes out there pushes on the main relay and it cranks. when i get back to school and park it, i come out and it starts fine, fine for a few days, so i decide to park it and due my turbo install b/c hell why not. before i start the install i make sure it will crank and everything to see if it was just a fluke incedent, but it wasnt, it would sometimes get the fuel pump to cut on, then sometimes it wouldnt. now a few months later i got the install done and everything and now i get nothing again, no fuel pump no attempt to crank, nothing. i get lights and radio but thats it, and the only lights on the dash are my e-brake and hatch open light, the other ones are REAL faint. i checked the ground to the valve cover, the ground to the thermostat, and the one to the tranny are connected. the main relay is clicking and ALL the fuses are good, undler the hood and dash, checked them with a fuse checker, just to make sure i wasnt an idiot. im not sure what to do, the car has sat for a while b/c of the turbo install and i had knee surgery to add to that. im really not sure what this could be, any help would be appreciated. thanks guys
