Default help needed, no spark on S2 rs turbo

as above, ive just helped my mate fit his new engine in his S2 rs turbo but when we went to time it up it wouldnt start, we checked a few things and then found that we didnt have a spark, we checked a few things, new dizzy, arm but then we ran out of time.

could anyone point me in the right direction on what to look at please,

cheers

Check your coil mate make sure its wired up properly, check HT leads / plugs / dizzy cap / imobiliser?
