Ok, so I put a borg warner s256 et in over the last few weeks.

Now the car will crank but won't start, on dsmlink, it says throttle position 100% and tps volts 5.
I figure this is the problem. If I unplug the tps, it drops to like .08v and 0% throttle,

Now I have replaced a lot in the last few weeks.

Turbo, downpipe, o2 housing with external wastegate, 4" fp intake, 3g lifters, afpr.

Has anyone had this problem?
 
During startup if throttle is at 100% it activates cranking fuel cut aka flooded engine clearing mode in DSMlink and injectors will be turned off. Did you check your throttle cable is not holding the throttle open? Also check that your tps is rotated in the correct orientation.
 
FOUND IT!! you have no idea the headache I had from trying to figure this out, Anyway,
It turns out I had a blown ecu ground, my camera glass is broken so I couldn't get a good picture,
But this causes dsmlink to read 100% throttle position, -74° coolant temp, and a few other things. Thank you guys so much for the help, and I hope this helps someone else in the future.
