Default have a strange problem?

im having a strange problem with my turbo?

Its all started since i changed my sump gasket,i can get the car to start sumtimes and keep it running by holding the revs on but then it starts to splutter and cut out.

Then when i try to start it it wont start just turns over. ive changed the fuel pump,fuel relay,fuel filter,dizzie cap rotary arm and coil but still no joy.

i dont no what more to do now?

100% an air leak if your still MFI? The sump gasket has not sealed properly, you will have to do it again i'm afraid!
