The only thing I can think of is you may have dumped a lot of gas into the cylinders with extended cranking intervals trying to start it, and that got pushed right out the exhaust valves and into the hot side of the turbo. I would proceed with a standard "no start" troubleshooting program, focusing on the ignition system first. (you obviously have fuel) The hall switch and the power stage are the two most likely culprits, However, since you have fuel, that means a hall signal is getting to the EZK computer as it is sending the RPM count signal to the LH computer, which then closes the fuel pump relay. So,( after verifying a good cap, rotor & wires) I would swap in a different power stage, first. You can verify a functioning hall switch by observing a bouncing tach needle as you crank the starter.

Good Luck,hth
