The Turbo won't start
 
So,
Long story short i'm keeping my turbo in storage until december when i get back home (I'm currently in arizona). I have my dad start up the car at least once a week and run it around the storage compound. I took a flight back home recently and went to check on my car. I unhook the trickle charger and hop in the drivers seat only to find that she won't start! I try 4 more times, with no luck. The car turns over just fine, but it seems like it's one of two problems: either A: i'm getting no spark or B: getting no fuel i.e. the fuel pump. PorscheDoc or Lee do you guys have any ideas on what else it could be? Thanks in advance.

DME relay or reference sensors more than likely. Does the tach bounce when you are cranking? There should be slight movement.

Ok, then your reference sensors, DME relay, and DME should be fine. Now you need to figure out if you have fuel and spark. Easiest way to check for fuel is to pull the rail with the injectors installed, pull the coil wire, and turn the car over a little. If you prop up the rail right, you can see them shoot fuel if there is fuel. If you have fuel, then check for spark (put your rail back in the engine, etc)
