Default B16a Turbo, starts but stumbles and doesnt idle

sorry for the repost but i really want to get my crx running

Ok, i just finished my b16a turbo, turn it over with out touching the pedal, it starts runs a 2k then dies. If i give it one third throttle it will run but the rpms go from 2k to 2.5k over and over. IF i let it die its harder to start again.
Things i know
1.) Spark wires are in the right order.
2.) Cams and crank pully line up with TDC
3.) Im running TE with 450s dsm, i tried to lean it out or richen it up with my vfac and no change. I have gas (45 psi), i got only one CEL for ELD (maybe i need better grounds?)
4.) I cant do the ignition timing because i cant get it to stay running but tis the same wiht the dizzy all the way foward, back and in the middle

Any ideas?

also the plugs are fowled after 5 minutes

when it runs though i think its timing, i have a basemap on this page if anyone wants to look at it its in TE (www.turboedit.org) based on the new experimental bin (the one after ng28)

heres a link to a thread with my bin http://www.pgmfi.org/phorum/re...t=703
