Give us some history, a 20 sec video doesn't tell us much.
Anything you've discovered, list of mods you can see etc. What's your background in DSMs?
Has this car ever run in your possession?

Start with basics: Compression, air/fuel, ignition.

Yea so I bought this car off an older guy had it sitting for about 7 years in his driveway, it was his sons car. He had it built couldn’t tell me much but show me I seen aftermarket parts from fuel system to intake manifold turbo has boost control air to fuel ratio gauges ecm tune im gonna be honest im new to this i dont know much about diagnosing a car im a YouTube guy but couldn’t find much about trouble shooting

Whats your mechanical skill set? Thsts a very modded car. Could be 1000 things wrong.

Yea so what I’ve done so far is add some fuel and additive to it. New battery, oil changed, filter, didn’t notice any shaving or nothing to indicate that the motor is shot from the inside. I hear it crank that’s a good sign but no turn over.

Noticing that the fuel regulator gauge builds pressure gives me the idea that the gas is reaching to the engine.

I plugged in a spark plug tester to all cylinders according to the packaging instructions it indicates a fault with the fuel as I tested them, the little lite would flash as I’m cranking. I haven’t pulled plugs because I’m waiting for my 13/16 socket because the standard 5/8s doesn’t fit.

That’s where I’m at currently

There's a good chance if it sat that long the tune could be gone, even with Ecmlink V3.

A spark plug tester with the little lite flashing while cranking just says you have ignition. It says nothing about fuel, compression, spark plug condition.

Sounds low compression. Cranks to fast. If you don't have a compression gauge, take out spark plugs and take four paper towels fold them into balls and stick them down the spark plug tube. If all of them fly out like bullets you got compression. It's not the most accurate test, but it's the fastest way to check without the tester. If non fly out check the timing belt if it's torn or teeth broken.

If you got compression spray a little bit of starting fluid into the intake or through the booster intake hose, if it fires for a second you might have fuel delivery issue, if it backfires you might have ignition issues etc... all you need is compression, spark and fuel on a somewhat properly timed engine for the car to run. Also make sure nothing is blocking the air from being sucked in into the throttle body....

It sounds like you have a leak somewhere due to the hissing noise I heard or was it something else in the background? Have you done a boost leak check

1. Gauge on FPR appears to loosing pressure a bit faster than it should check hose from pump to sending unit, check diaphram in FPR for rips/tear, leaks anywhere in sytem
2. With it being a 1G in a 2G lets hope all the wiring is correct, if not thats a whole other issue
3. Make sure everything is plugged in hoses and connectors
4. Not sure what kind of tester you have but this doesnt make sense. Definetly check the spark plugs
5. WIre wiggly test, while cranking wiggly the entire engine harness everywhere. Sounds funny but can save hours in troubleshooting in some cases

I plugged in a spark plug tester to all cylinders according to the packaging instructions it indicates a fault with the fuel as I tested them

Keep it simple do all the other suggestions first, Good luck

Thanks to everybody that has replied with suggestions. I forgot to mention when I tried the starting fluid method thru the intake it cranked a fit faster then it was in the video it just didn’t turn over or backfire. I’ll get back to you guys after trying what is suggested and get back to you guys.

I hate to add to the many that have posted but if it sat for that long, I'd check out the pump and fuel tank situation first. Pull the back seat and pop the cover off. I'll let everyone else guide you to victory but that's where I'd start.
