Default First fire on turbo build, it ran! Now issues

I turned it on for about a minute, turned it off. started it again for 30 seconds, turned it off, and when trying to start it the third time, the hazards were flashing, as well as the interior lights. When I would turn the key in the ignition, it wouldnt start, but the lights would dim a little. Has anyone had this issue before? I disconnected the battery for over an hour and tried again, same issue. my 02 sensor on the downpipe is not installed.

Also, my turbo sits so low that I barely had the oil return feed hook up to the oil pan, anyone have ideas on another return set up instead of this return line here?

Also, what lines here are vacuum, where should I connect my BOV to?

dude if u dont know where your brake booster line is this is going to be very difficult to diagnose. second your turbo should have nothing to do with electronic systems so id say your no start is an unrelated issue. third show some pics of the turbo drain line. fourth why would u not put the o2 sensor in. and fifth how are u feeding the turbo with oil.

if you don't know what a brake booster is, you probably shouldn't be doing any of this yourself.

if the brake booster/brake master cylinder are the same.. I got it. But there are no vacuum lines connected to it.

The car is running now, the battery pussied out on me, idk why. Anyways everything is up and running now, just gonna re install the turbo, downpipe, rest of the exhaust, and I'm good

lol tee off it for your bov, wastegate (if turbo doesnt have a nipple on the cold side) and your boost gauge. the only other better way is too tap your manifold and have dedicated lines.
