ok. i have a 2G 4g63t. ill try and make this a little more clear then the last time. i bought the car with a blown head gasket. i replaced that and a few other things. we got the build done, and it was running great. then stuff started going down hill. the timing skipped a tooth. then when i had it at speed technique it was broken into and they stole gagues and SAFCII tuner. now my friend tried starting it and now it wont even spark. and yes, when the car was running and it bogged when it started boosting. i am currently wondering if it is bad to turn it over with the tuner not in it, and what could cause the spark issues. sorry for all the confusion im kinda new and dont know everything yet. my friend helped me with the build and he knows a little more then i do.

o. and yes i think the turbo is blown. not sure yet too freaking cold to dig into it. but i dont think the motor is bad. it only drove like that untill i could slow down. the timing skipped and i pulled over and towed it home.

in other words, what could cause it not to spark? what could be causing the bog when boosting? is it bad to turn the car over when the tuner was ripped out?
 
well, the weird thing is that when it was stolen the wires were not cut. the person that did it actually went into the harness and unconnected the female and male ends of the connector. so the female end of it is still there. do they still need to be re wired back to stock? would that cause the ignition issue?
