Hi Guys, Total Newbe here but not new to working on cars.

Here is my dilema !... I just installed a new head gasket after having a 3 angle valve job and shaving the head... The gasket I installed is an HKS 2.0 mm gasket. Installed an aftermarket Exhaust manifold with a T4 turbo and a Tial knock off wastegate. I also installed a Fuel Pressure regulator.

this is what is happening... I noticed on the fuel pressure regulator the pressure was 30 PSI but only while turning over the engine.( still no start ) when I let off the key its back to 0
should the fuel pressure up when turning on the ignition?

Also noticed that all my turbo piping and intake is getting hot after about 4 or 5 seconds of cranking.

I tried to spray a little starter fluid in the intake, she tries to start but pops ! Blew out a flame out of the MAF anyone have a clue what I am doing wrong? I now have so much money in this car and I cant get it started !

:confused :
