So... You're still running the stock ecu? And I think you answered your own question about the fuel pump fuse, don't run other electronics off of it!

I wouldn't be surprised if something was damaged internally from a bad air/fuel/timing mixture. You really should have at least gotten a base map ROM tune before driving it at all after installing the turbocharger.

well what could be internally damaged i probably have 50 miles on the turbo kit and got into it once but i guess once is enough to break something

It's impossible for us to diagnose your car over the interwebs however it's extremely easy to damage an engine when you put a turbo/supercharger on it with a bone stock ecu and no management of any kind...your bad. Hope the bill to fix is not too high..

If your engine sounds like a diesel now or has dropped cylinders I would HIGHLY recommend you do some reading up on basic engine principles and high performance engine modification before you travel down this same road again.

Furthermore, it also seems to me that your problem of melting fuses is totally separate from your engine issues but likely contributed to your (what sounds like) FUBAR motor..

Again read up on this stuff....Google/Amazon are your friends here.

Good luck
