Well tonight I finally got my fluids and everything fixed tonight, and started the car a few times. It starts but takes 2-4 cranks for get it to stay running. Now my IC piping isnt hooked up yet, so maybe I am jumping the gun on this but is there anything that might cause it to take a few times to start?

you don't need to hook up your piping...i've seen countless "start up" videos where there's NO intercooler piping hooked up intake is open and turbo is open and they start up after a few cranks...so i dont think you're jumpin the gun

yeah, but hes wondering why its not starting up right away....

hes jumping the gun into trying to fix that problem (if it is a problem) since he doesnt even have his ic piping done.
