Default Serious issue

So I just upgraded my NA-T with the BL 2.5mm headgasket and now when I go to start the car, I hear the ignitor click, hear the fuel doing its thing, but no spark and NO starter. Doesn't even crank. Mainly my concern is the starter...Any ideas?

Double check that your little brown connector is connected to the starter.

ITS ALIVE!!!!


The issue ended up being the starter ground (the little brown connector)...she's up and running. But she isn't boosting at all? I'll figure that part out later this week. Thanks for the help everyone!
