Default car not starting..... lil help?

ok, heres the whole deal. Im doing my junkyard setup, and ive got the std mani with turbo and oil lines bolted on... waiting on charge piping ....

So i start up my car today and the **** is ******* missfiring and smoking like a mother ******! Im like WTF! ok .. so i go through the basics.
Compression test.. 190 across.... pull plugs.. there black.... put new plugs in .. no good .. **** with dizzy .. no help ...

finally im looking around and i notice that my damn vac line is off my wall mounted map sensor .. Ok i plug that **** in and walla, smoke is gone and idles good..

Car still had a little bit of a hiccup in it, so i shut it off, and turned the dizzy bnack a little bit to stock timing . Fire it back up, and its runs fine for like 5 seconds and then just hardcore cuts the **** out on me. And thats where i sit now, Hasnt fired since then.

Anyone have any ideas about what the hell could have happened? I mean i didnt like stuble and stall out, it was like it just kicked right out as if i had turned off the key! .. Im lost....

Check everything again. Also check to make sure that the turbo isn't siezed.
