I just did the turbo II drivetrain swap (trans, shaft, diff, axles, starter, etc) and I got everything done and it wont start. Any ideas? i am working on checking fuses and wiring, but open to suggestions on what it could be. any help appreciated, thanks!

You will have to be more specific.
What year car?
What year of engine?
What harness did you use?
was the car an N/A and you put a TII engine in it?
etc,etc..
Please post some info so that guys can answer your question easier.

Did you forget to put back the ground wire that is mounted on the other side of the top starter bolt?

starting problem

I figured it out, sorry I didnt post more specifics on my car. But it was the clutch start switch. I taped it and it started so I need to figure out how to make it a more permanent fix. The clutch pedal doesnt press the button in enough, so I'll probably make a super jdm mounting bracket that lets it do its magic. Thanks anyway though guys

If you are not 'safety oriented" then you can just disconnect it and make a little jumper it on the harness side and that way you can start it..It WILL be able to start IN gear though,so that is the "safety" stuff that I mentioned.
