That's not what we wanted to hear. Don't blame the turbo unless you mixed up the pipes, and the oil cooler cannot collapse. The car can safely be lifted via the subframe which is attached to the frame.

So here are a couple of possibilities. The headgasket is not on correctly. There are different gaskets for turbo and non-turbo. The torque was improperly applied and not even. While you were pouring oil on the rings prior to assembly, some oil dribbled into the water holes.

As for the no ignition, you need to check for spark. If you didn't add oil to the rings, there might not be enough compression to ignite the fuel. Grinding the valves should have been measured in micro meters and almost immeasurable at the valve stems.
