loads of places mate.
Are you defo no getting a spark?
check the green wire has not broken - it runs along the front of the car, under rad and into the back of the rev counter, the other runs to the ecu. Check these feeds.
Does your fuel pump prime when switched on ignition?

yes mate the fuel pump was fine its now running but just has a bit of pop and a bang now and again when under load before it comes on boost and also seems little flat b4 it comes on boost so gonna see what the timing is like tomorrow all going well and maybe advance her up a little then turn boost down a little as 24psi seems little to much me thinks LOL

That is good to no mate as i have no clue what i'm doing 
basically it stalled the other day so i called aa out he told me i was getting a weak spark and told me to change the coil (i ordered one) i used the car yesterday for work on the way no problem on the way home 20 mins into the journey it died again and started about 20 mins later then died about 10 mins after that and 5 mins again after that lol (pain in the ahole) i tried the car today and it started okay but didn't seem to idle very well and there seems to be no revs on the dash now if that makes sense the needle isn't moving any help would be awesome
