you should have ported the waste gate, sounds like you blew the turbo w/ the free flow exhaust, happens all the time to people that dont know.

what are you talking about? free flow would make the turbo spin too fast and run more psi than the wastegate could handle, wait, its too late at night, someone tell me how it works. But anywho, the car should be ok to drive, and no pieces of turbo should get in the engine. Also I would check the connections on the plugs, sometimes they're just bad, and wont spark.

Do a compression test. This is like the ultimate test for a bad engine.
