Default Efi rs turbo wont start !!!

i have an efi rs turbo engine in my car and had it running last week on the first try after the conversion, it hasnt yet got the turbo piped up i ran it without for now,

i went to start it yesterday after fitting an exhaust and now it wont start and i have no idea why, fuel is at the rail, sparks when i put a driver in the leads,
