Car won't start after porting wastegate?
I removed the turbo's to port the wastegate, and took off the egr and blocked it. I also installed a new intercooler and bov. Now the car won't even try start? It acts like there is no battery or something? Any ideas?

The commander won't come on. I can't turn the headlights on anymore? The only other thing I can think of is the o2 sensor is disconnected. Anybody got any ideas?

It isn't the O2 sensor. You knocked some wires loose, or sorted something and blew a fuse.

Its the main fuse. in the engine bay. should be right in the center of it. cant remove it without removing the bolts on either side of it. you can see if it blown from looking at the top of it. compare it to the rest for the fuses there.
