Check and see if the main battery ground wire is attached to the block.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Wait...
There should be a small wire coming off the battery ground terminal to the sheet metal of the passenger side inner fender.
The main ground cable should go to the turbo mounting bracket bolt.
There is no frame ground on our cars....
