Check your car for codes. Try inspecting the maf, almost seems as if airflow is blocked. Start the car without the maf plugged into the harness.

So when you did your boost leak test how long did you hold boost till it went to zero psi.

I havent completed a Boost Leak test as of yet as i dont really know how.

If i unplug the AFM it seems to make no difference if any it allows the car to start a little easier.

Is there some kind of test i can do on the AFM?

No codes on the car, **** the car doesnt even code when i unplug the AFM

Also all the lines are attached to the reg

Maybe you damaged your mOTOr...i would tow it to a shop so they can pull the head. For further inspection.

i went to bunnings to make a air leak tester and they had nothing i could use.

I moved the AFM to the throttle body eliminating any leaks in the cooler pipes still wont go.

I had the rocker cover off, to check valves springs there all good, no milky residue or any oil where it shouldnt be.

I did a comp test 175psi across all 4

i checked coils they seem to be sparking out of the car i checked its getting fuel.

Checked the bottom Crank Pully had it on the T and the cam gears line up properly

The only other thing i can think of is Cam Angle Sensor or Crank Angle sensor

I went to bunnings, they had nothing there.

The car wont start at all now, i have a few people leaning towards a dead Cam Angle Sensor, i have a mate with an Evo 5 are they the same sensor?
